Reminds me of sitting by a fire. Matches are just cool. Striking a flame and watching the tiny piece of wood burn. Nice smell. I love the tactile feeling and the scent of striking matches. Striking and the smell helps rooms smell better When I want to burn something to remove odors. Most of what I light like candles light better with matchsticks. I use match sticks for lighting candles.
I generally do not own lighters. I had one once but I never refilled the lighter fluid and I don't know what happened to it. Also, I have a bit of nostalgia for matches. Just love the convenience for votive candles. They are fun to use.
I can angle the matches without immediately burning my fingers, which is useful when lighting an almost used up jar candle. They're tried and true and convenient Safety of distance from explosive material They smell good.
Also, holding down a lighter while lighting a candle can burn my fingers I don't smoke and I don't like keeping lighters around. I also have children around and they know not to mess with matchsticks and would be more apt to mess with a lighter.
You can hold a match in many directions without burning yourself. A lighter isn't that nimble. Its sexier. I like the sound and the smell of matches. It can occur in one nostril or both. Olfactory hallucinations can be caused by common medical conditions such as nasal infections, nasal polyps, or dental problems.
Cancer raises polyamine levels, and they do have a distinct odor. Using an electronic nose, researchers have been able to detect prostate cancer from urine smell print profiles. These studies, and others like them, are a promising area of cancer research.
It's still in its infancy, though. There is a fairly common misconception you may smell burnt toast or some other scent that doesn't exist, before an imminent stroke. This is false. However, your sense of smell could indeed be affected by a CVA depending on where in the brain it occurs.
Losing the ability to smell strong odours such as onions, petrol or lemons in later life could be a warning sign that an early death is approaching, a new study suggests.
Researchers tested the smelling ability of 2, people aged between 71 and 82 then followed them up for more than 10 years. Phantom Smell Phantosmia, which is an olfactory hallucination, sometimes occurs with anxiety.
It can cause you to smell something that isn't there, or rather, a neutral smell becomes unpleasant. Phantosmia is a condition that causes you to smell odors that aren't actually present. When this happens, it's sometimes called an olfactory hallucination. Some might notice the odor in just one nostril, while others have it in both.
Poor hygiene Poor oral hygiene can cause your breath to smell like poop. Failing to brush and floss your teeth properly and regularly can make your breath smell because plaque and bacteria accumulate on and between your teeth. It's caused by neglecting oral hygiene. Foul- smelling stools have an unusually strong, putrid smell. In many cases, foul- smelling stools occur due to the foods people eat and the bacteria present in their colon. However, foul- smelling stools can also indicate a serious health problem.
Diarrhea, bloating, or flatulence may occur with foul- smelling stools. Mold does not always have a strong smell but when it is present, it's often described as musty. Others have described mold smelling earthy, meaty or resembling the odor of wet socks or rotten wood. For many homeowners, the smell is unpleasant and pungent. Canine cancer detection. Canine cancer detection is an approach to cancer screening that relies upon the claimed olfactory ability of dogs to detect, in urine or in breath, very low concentrations of the alkanes and aromatic compounds generated by malignant tumors.
But why do people want to smell the thing? Your HLA profile is very likely to be different to everyone else you meet — though some people, like your close relatives, will be more similar to you than others.
From a genetic point of view, it is an advantage to have a child with someone who has a dissimilar HLA profile. These women put the T-shirts worn by men with the most dissimilar HLA profile first and last the most similar. So they were able to identify the men, and preferred the men, with the best match in terms of immune system genetics. They didn't know that was what they were doing, of course — it was subconscious. Do humans use genetic information hidden in body odour to choose their partners?
It would seem not. In a study of almost 3, married couples, the likelihood of people ending up with a HLA-dissimilar partner was no different to chance. We might have a preference for certain smells, and there might be a genetic reason for that, but we don't act upon smells when choosing who we marry.
People with congenital anosmia the loss of their sense of smell have poorer relationship outcomes , suggests Mahmut in a study with Ilona Croy at the University of Dresden, Germany.
Couples who had high HLA-dissimilarity — which presumably happened by chance — had the highest levels of sexual satisfaction and the highest levels of desire to have children. This link was more strongly seen in women. Women partnered with HLA-similar men reported more sexual dissatisfaction and lower desire to have children.
Though when evidence from multiple studies is taken into account, the effect might not be conclusive. To evolutionary biologists the emphasis on female choice makes sense. In nature, females tend to choose males, as it is the mother who invests the most in raising children and therefore has the most to lose by mating with a genetically inferior male.
The female must be discerning in her choice, so looks for clues as to a male's quality. This is why males are often colourful, perform dances, sing songs or offer gifts in nature — they have to prove their genetic quality. The link between BO preference and genes spurred a fashion for T-shirt speed-dating and even "mail odour" services. But the evidence to support the idea we can make good dating decisions based on smell is unclear. We might say we prefer something, but in practice it would appear we do not make choices based on that preference.
