#19: The Last Smell

Our bodies are like walking miracles, doing all kinds of amazing stuff, from bringing new life into the world to keeping us going daily. There’s so much under our skin that we’re still figuring out, piece by piece. But some mysteries, well, they’re kind of intense to think about. Take what happens after we’re gone, for example; people who are dying often smell sweet.

It’s a topic that doesn’t exactly make for light conversation, and it’s loaded with questions that make you wonder, “Who’s out there studying this stuff?” As curious as we are, some things about the human body might be too deep, too complex, or maybe just a bit too creepy to wrap our heads around entirely.
