    Very sensitive. Actually had surgery to reduce my sense of smell about ten years ago.

    It was part of a whole suite of work I had done while removing a HACKEY SACK sized tumor out of my sinuses. Had my uvula removed, turbinates shaved too. The uvula bit was hilarious; the surgeon was this old guy with a Brooklyn accent: "well, it ain't covered by insurance, but your uvula is too large and dragging on the back of your tongue. I can snip that baby off for $50!" So I had my uvula banned :ghoti:

    Perfume still gives me a migraine, but I can occupy a building with people and not nearly die from their totally normal level of BO.

    Yeah, I'm super sensitive to odor.
    If you want me to leave a meet and greet before it even starts.(not saying I'd ever attend one)
    Have any amount of garlic before you show up.

    After 35 years in the wastewater treatment profession my nose is utterly jaded. Doesn’t mean I’m immune to odors, only that it has to rank high on the vomitometer scale to get much of a reaction.

    Somewhat insensitive to bad and good. I'm severely chemically/fragrance sensitive - some people think that means I have a super sense of smell but actually the opposite. I can't tell the difference between Chanel No. 5 and Pine-Sol. I don't smell it, I react to it. And no matter how much I try to arrange my life to minimize exposure, years of chemical assault have wrecked my sense of smell. My neighbors tell me they can smell my rose garden from across the street. I can barely smell a flower if I stick my face right into it.

    I suppose an advantage when cleaning cat box.

    My nose must be damn sensitive.

    Does your nose run? Do your feet smell? You were built upside down.

    I cant handle smells, gluten, red meat, chevy trucks, or magazines with over 9 rounds.

    But pot smells amazing.

    As for me, my nose just doesn't work very well, so I'm somewhat insensitive to all smells, including bad ones.

    The reason I put up the poll is this study:

    I leave it to the reader to decide whether the results of this poll are consistent with the findings of the study.
