YOUR SMELL IS UNIQUE

YOUR BODY ODOR IS JUST AS UNIQUE AS YOUR FINGERPRINT:

Personally, I feel that if you smell one stinky, sweaty person . . . you've smelled them all. But according to a new study . . . that's not actually true. Researchers from the Monell Chemical Senses Center in Philadelphia have found that everybody has a unique, genetically-determined body odor . . . or "odortype" . . . and it's transmitted through body fluids like sweat.

Now, I know what you're thinking . . . "When I eat a lot of garlic, I smell different". --That's true . . . but your underlying odortype is still the same.

A guy named Jae Kwak led the study. He says the findings, "indicate that biologically based odorprints, like fingerprints, could be a reliable way to identify individuals." In other words, your body odor is just as unique as your fingerprint or your DNA. (Live Science)
