I am CONVINCED i can smell carbon dioxide. no one believes me because it's an "odourless gas" but then what am i smelling. it smells different from my sweat or any odors. it's a sweet, kind of cloying smell that makes my head hurt, and i always get it when i shut the windows in my room for too long or sit in a locked car. it doesn't come from anything else i've checked so now i have this power and it's not weird enough to be important but i need to tell everyone

  3. exfantrollera said: @pestobear carbon monoxide is a dangerous biproduct of gas-powered machinery left in an enclosed space. carbon DIoxide, which is what anon is talking about, is what most mammals exhale naturally.
  4. pestobear said: Ok but why does ur room and car smell like carbon monoxide? That shouldnโ€™t be there no?
  5. slowlyshinyengineer said: Could still be psychosomatic based on how you’ve described it. You should sit in a room blindfolded and have someone either release some dry ice into the room or just do nothing. If you do this a few times and you can tell the difference between the dry ice and the nothing, then that will be good evidence that you actually can smell it.
  6. tailless-whale said: I can smell it too!! It’s more noticeable to me in slurpees, icees and dry ice. It got worse when I got covid, and then when I started taking Topamax and diamox which makes carbonation taste nasty. I’m no longer on either drug but I still smell carbon dioxide when I am near the large dry ice bins at work.
