Grandmother Can Detect Parkinson’s Disease by People’s Scent
Joy Milne has several titles. She’s a grandmother, a former nurse and — according to researchers and scientific journals — a “super smeller.”
Her extra-sensitive sense of smell was the first to notice, decades ago, that something was wrong with her husband. All of a sudden he started smelling off. Soon after his diagnosis, Milne and her husband attended a Parkinson’s support group meeting, where she said she was overwhelmed by the scent. “We got some people with Parkinson’s, six people, and we got six people without Parkinson’s and we bought them identical t-shirts and they wore them overnight,” Barran explained to Today.But Milne was able to correctly identify the six Parkinson’s patients by the scent on their shirts, plus one person in the control group — who was diagnosed with Parkinson’s nine months later.
