Olfactory fatigue. Same thing that keeps smokers and people with
extreme BO from being aware of how they smell. It happens. I rented a room in a house, for a time, that in the space of time I was living there, was overtaken by mold, rot and a veritable menagerie of unhousebroken dogs and cats. My ability to smell *anything*, even years and years afterward, is greatly diminished. |
