Ya, know… that smell of a campfire or BBQ that gets stuck in your clothes and you just can’t seem to get it out without washing them once, or even twice? Well, where I came from we had a lot of campfires and BBQs. Not to mention the bars that still allowed smoking in some of my younger years. So, needless to say there were a lot of smoky smelling clothes in my youth.
Now that I’m all growed up, I’m beginning to wonder if smells can permiate hair, particularily the nose hair. I know that a certain smell can linger in long locks of the head, but what about the shorties in the nose? Let’s take me, as a case study, to answer these puzzling questions.
Back in January Jas and I got a dog. She had, and still has, some of the most foul canine flatulence you’ll ever smell. I remember, thinking back, while driving to work the smell of Nala’s gas, but she was ten miles away and we humans don’t have that shark like sense of smell. Now, fast forward ten months and along comes little Autumn. Same story, some of the most foul smelling baby gas and poo. Once again, the smell haunts me ten miles away. I did give the clothes the old sniff test and everything checked out. I’ve also never overheard anyone saying how badly I smell.
Therefore, my hypothesis is correct: The most foul of smells can certainly be burned into your nose hair for future oto bliss.
