My mom always said she couldn't smell anything but never really told us how or why (not sure she even knew back then), possibly due to an illness in her late teens because she remembered the smells of her favorite flowers and delicious food; but not much after that.

However, as a nurse back in those days (1940's & 50's) her employers often took advantage of that by giving her the jobs that that had horrible odors and no one else wanted, including people who soiled themselves or awful infections or death where the smell was overwhelming for everyone else.

Have you experienced someone trying to take advantage of your "superpower"?

Thank you and best wishes!
