Research announced today at a conference of the nation's leading chemists confirms that skin with cancer gives off a different odor than normal skin. ScienCentral reports on the first odor profile for skin cancer, and how it could lead to new cancer sniffing technology. http://www.sciencentral.com/video/

  • my dog just says i smell like food...

  • It's not just skin cancer. Every disease has its own unique smell. I...remember it very well. It made me gag, but the rest of the people around her couldn't detect it at all. It worried me quite a bit, and this isn't an n=1 experience, unfortunately. It's also very different from the scent of typical decomposition--more sickly sweet but not quite diabetes smell. It's like if you take any of your natural odor and tack "sickly sweet" on it. I can also tell when I'm PMSing based on my smell...

  • @RoxasX58 for the same reason that butterfly sits in the background....

    ever heard of "brainwashed society"?

  • excellent.  i have had peopple say about dogs, sticking to people who pass away the next day. like a bad omen. lets hope we can do what we can against C.

  • God.....hurry up with that magic wand!! Please. 

  • You can get rid of scars with acupuncture (they surround the scar with tiny needles that don't hurt) and you can prevent them with the rubber-like scar prevention sheets available from your neighborhood pharmacy.

  • It's worse than creepy. It leaves a really bad scar. I've had skin cancer removed from my arm and now I have something that concerns me on my face. I really, really hope it's nothing to worry about because I don't want my face to be scarred. I have enough scars as it is.

  • Omg why does she look with her eyes like that

  • haha this is like the scrubs episode where JD diagnoses a guy with non-hodgkin lymphoma by smelling him

  • yep. even though they numb you, the thought of someone doing that is creepy
