Reply to comment by [deleted] in I recently learned that humans can smell rain / petrichor (ozone and geosmin) better than sharks smell blood, now considering we don't have any extra hyper specific olfactory organs like some other animals do, how do we achieve this level of detection? by Corvuscoraxaphro

So what you're saying is that a person could literally smell the bulbs deteriorating before any other noticeable deterioration actually happens?

Would this be like me bringing the milk out of the fridge and leaving it on the counter and with less than a minute start to smell it going bad?
