Who can taste smells?
I can, and it can stab me in the back.
While biking to my local subway, I have to pass a pile of horse stuff. (there is a place where horses live not too far away, I'm surprised the city didn't take it away yet)
The first time I passed it, I held my mouth open. (I have asthma, and I was catching my breath at the time)
I tasted the smell of the horse stuff, and I almost vomited on the spot.
From then on, I just plug my nose and hold my breath.
