    | Can anyone else here smell illness? | 
  
    |  | 
         I'm serious! My kids had the flu (the honest to goodness influenza) last week, and I could tell immediately by their smell that something was wrong. My daughter "smelled" like she had a fever before I even laid a hand on her forehead. It's happened on other occasions, too.
 Just wondering if anyone else has had a similar experience....

    | 1. My husband often can, especially in our son. | 
  
    |  | He knows before me when I'm about to menstruate, too.
