SPEAKER_00 0:19

What's up everyone? Welcome back to the pod. I'm Ashley.

SPEAKER_01 0:23

And I am Christy. There was hair on my mic and Ashley enjoyed watching me pick it off.

SPEAKER_00 0:31

Do this.

SPEAKER_01 0:32

Watched me go cross eyed.

SPEAKER_00 0:34

Okay, so before we get started, we have to talk about the Voynich manuscript. Okay. Because I am obsessed. So I don't know what side of TikTok or Reels you're on, but I'm on the very much I'm very much on like the witchy women doing science side of things on the internet. No shit. So if you're not on that side of things, let me just tell you. A group of women think they may have decoded the Voynich manuscript. Okay. They think it is a period tracker slash moon cycle calendar slash instructions for using menstrual blood as fertilizer for plants. Uh some of the more like fringe ones also propose that it's telling us that we can use our menstrual blood to literally grow our own plants by adding our blood to moon water. Thoughts.

SPEAKER_01 1:27

I'll just, you know, I buy this stuff called plant food and I'll just probably keep doing that.

SPEAKER_00 1:32

You know, like when I was thinking about this, like objectively, I was like, I mean, it's got iron. It's got blood. Yeah, but it feels it's got like really nutrient, like it's got nutrient stuff that could grow a human.

SPEAKER_01 1:47

Yeah. But it's kind of one of those things where you're like, well, it's probably okay if I do it, but the thought of someone else doing it makes me gag, so I better not do it.

SPEAKER_00 1:55

Yeah. Anyways, rules for thee and not for me.

SPEAKER_01 1:59

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 2:00

Yeah. You're settling in nice to the patriarchy.

SPEAKER_01 2:04

Solidly.

SPEAKER_00 2:05

Sickburn. I'm out of here. Anyways, all that's to say is I'm very excited about this development and I can't wait to see where it goes. Um, I didn't have enough information on it to do like a full episode, but I will say that I trust the women um because nobody's really studied menstrual blood before. I know.

SPEAKER_01 2:24

Um they just barely started using actual blood to test like menstrual products. Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 2:30

Yeah. So I'm very excited to see what comes of the experiments. I know um, like on a different tangent, um, as far as menstrual blood goes, some people at our work have been studying menstrual blood in relation to athletes and the amount of relax in um in their bodies during their periods and stuff like that. So I think it's really interesting. I really hope there's more studies that happen with women's medicine. Um, and if this like engages people in that conversation, then I'm here for it. So I will follow up in the future when more things come out, but I just had to mention it because it's been a fascination of my mind for a very long time. And it was episode three of this podcast where I went like on a deep dive a little bit of the finished manuscript. So go back and listen to that if you haven't yet. Um, those were in the early days, you guys. We were sitting at a table with books as like mic stands. Yeah. Those are the good old days. We've grown up. We have grown up. But um, none of that has anything to do with my episode today. So um I'm just gonna ask you a very non-related question now.

SPEAKER_01 3:35

Do it, lady.

SPEAKER_00 3:36

How's your smell these days?

SPEAKER_01 3:39

My smell is fine.

SPEAKER_00 3:40

Your sense of smell.

SPEAKER_01 3:41

Oh, my sense of smell? Yeah, not how I smell. Yeah. I hope I smell good. Yeah. Um, I think it's I think it's good, but I guess we'll find out. Because there's some weird little jars that you brought over.

SPEAKER_00 3:52

I did bring some jars. So, um, as we talked about on the last episode that we recorded today, um, we mentioned that my husband goes hunting and the other dayovers. Boy sleepovers. Boy sleepovers, yeah. In nature. Um the other day he was getting ready and he just like casually dropped this this sentence to me. He said, Did you know that dogs and other animals filter smells? In fact, the reason dogs sniff so much is that they can sift through each individual smell to focus on one that is unfamiliar. And then he just left the room. Like I wasn't gonna send me down like a rabbit hole of the sentry.

SPEAKER_01 4:31

I've been wondering.

SPEAKER_00 4:32

Yeah. I was like, excuse me, sir, what?

SPEAKER_01 4:36

So they can like sniff and then they'll sniff again and filter out something different. And sniff again to filter out something. So you know how like when a dog comes up to you and it just like like Yeah, just gets all up in your business and you're like, I smell great, thank you.

SPEAKER_00 4:49

It's smelling all of your all of your everything. Like where you've been, where you're going.

SPEAKER_01 4:55

Do we take it as a compliment when they want to sniff you?

SPEAKER_00 4:57

Uh I don't know, maybe.

SPEAKER_01 4:59

Okay.

SPEAKER_00 4:59

We're gonna find out. So honestly, most of the time, the reason I have an episode topic is because my husband just drops a random fact on me and then just sends me spiraling. Probably because he needs some goddamn peace and quiet. He's like, hey, did you know this?

SPEAKER_01 5:15

This this'll keep her busy for hours.

SPEAKER_00 5:17

Yeah, pretty much sends me off into my hyperfixation ADHD haul.

SPEAKER_01 5:21

Yeah. Good on you, man.

SPEAKER_00 5:23

Yeah, so thanks for the podcast topic, honey.

SPEAKER_01 5:26

I'm gonna start doing that.

SPEAKER_00 5:28

Yeah, you should.

SPEAKER_01 5:29

You already thought about this lately. Goodbye.

SPEAKER_00 5:32

You already do.

SPEAKER_01 5:32

I do that all the time. I rage bait you all the time.

SPEAKER_00 5:35

You do, and then I'm like, another thing.

SPEAKER_01 5:38

And then I just close my door. Oh, I got a call.

SPEAKER_00 5:41

Oh, yeah, I have to go. Sorry.

SPEAKER_01 5:43

Shoot.

SPEAKER_00 5:45

So before we talk about dogs, let's talk about what we know about and about smell in general. So, what exactly is smell? So it begins as a collection of microscopic airborne chemical compounds called odorants. These molecules enter your body in two ways: orthanasal olfaction through your nostrils as you breathe in, and retronasal olfaction from the back of your mouth up into your nasal cavity while you chew food. So this is actually responsible for what most people perceive as flavor. So I don't know I don't know.

SPEAKER_01 6:18

The artist formally known as flavor. Flave a flavor can't got it.

SPEAKER_00 6:22

I'm wondering like if you have a really like refined palate for food, if you also have a very unique sense of smell. I don't know. Somebody's probably studied that, right?

SPEAKER_01 6:35

Probably.

SPEAKER_00 6:36

Um, because like or like there's literally no way to find out. Yeah, there's no no one, nobody knows.

SPEAKER_01 6:41

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 6:42

Anyways, the odorants then land on the olfactory epithelium and dissolve into the receptors, and then the receptors send that signal um through the olfactory nerve to the olfactory bulb and then to the brain.

SPEAKER_01 6:55

Okay.

SPEAKER_00 6:56

Your brain doesn't simply just receive a list of chemicals, but instead it reads this specific combination of receptors like a chemical barcode and then creates a perception of the smell. So smell is basically the brain interpreting a giant chemical data stream, which is fascinating. That's interesting. It's also um unlike many sensory systems, the sense of smell has a particularly direct connection with areas involved in emotion and memory. So it goes through the amygdala and the um hypo hippocalamus, hypothalamus, um, which other senses don't necessarily go through.

SPEAKER_01 7:28

Hip hop anonymous?

SPEAKER_00 7:29

Hip, hip-hop, hip-hop anonymous, yeah. So um that actually explains why some smells can transport you back to being a kid again. Um, and that's gonna be like a whole other podcast episode because the link of smells to memory is crazy. Like it's crazy.

SPEAKER_01 7:45

Dayton's gonna have to dangle that one.

SPEAKER_00 7:47

Yeah. Yeah. No, I think it really is real. Um, and another interesting fact, my sister had a traumatic brain injury through due to an accident. She still has not had a sense of smell. And this was she had her accident in 2021, maybe. Yeah. So still not.

SPEAKER_01 8:06

What does she do with no smell?

SPEAKER_00 8:08

Um, she says she focuses more on like the sensations. So she she can like she likes soda or beer because of like the bubbles, and she likes more spicy foods because of like the sensation of like the burning. The burning. She says she has to be careful with that one because of the other end.

SPEAKER_01 8:29

She still has sensation there. Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 8:32

Yeah. Good on you, girl. Yeah, but other I mean, and like really sweet things she likes too, because of like the same thing, yeah. The same thing, you know. So yeah. She she said that they told her eventually it'll come back, maybe. Um, and sometimes it can just be one triggering event that like brings it back, but she needs to fall in the opposite direction. I don't know how you fall upwards.

SPEAKER_01 9:00

Dude, there's a lot of men out there that fall upwards. I have seen it, and I don't know how they do it, but they it's called promoting out.

SPEAKER_00 9:09

Promoting up. Promoting up, yeah. Um, so instead of all of that senses of smell linked to memory, and we're gonna um instead talk about dogs and their sense of smell. So according to Google, a dog's sense of smell is estimated to be 10,000 to 100,000 times more powerful than a human's.

SPEAKER_01 9:28

And I've heard that fact before. And now that you're saying that they can filter the smells, that makes more sense to me. Because I'm like, how in the world? Like when you are smelling so much, like how do they distinguish, you know, one thing from the other? But yeah, they just got like a little filter, so they just gotta adjust their filter.

SPEAKER_00 9:45

Yeah, and I was thinking about this as we as I was writing up this episode, because you've heard of people having more powerful senses of other things when they lose a certain sense, so like um like a sense of hearing or whatever, they they can like perceive, like they can feel vibrations better or whatever. I think that that's why dogs don't have as good a vision because their sense of smell is like it replaces that. I don't know if that's true. I'm probably speaking out of my ass.

SPEAKER_01 10:12

It's true. Yeah, Ashley 2026.

SPEAKER_00 10:15

Write that down, somebody. Yeah, so a human has about six million scent receptors, where a dog possesses anywhere from a hundred million to three hundred million receptors.

SPEAKER_01 10:25

Meow.

SPEAKER_00 10:26

Yeah. No, it's more like wolf.

SPEAKER_01 10:29

Oh, sorry. I'm a cat girl.

SPEAKER_00 10:33

So their nasal anatomy is built to keep incoming odor molecules moving through the olfactory region. So it's not just like the the odor molecules sit and stay like on our epithelium, it keeps moving through. So they get the same sense of smell like constantly. Okay. Um, and when dogs sniff, they're actually sampling the environment in a very different way than we do. They're essentially smelling everything all at once. But they can detect things like individual people, other animals, they can detect hormonal changes, they can obviously detect food. Anybody that has a dog knows that they can they sniff that shit out. Um they can detect environmental trails, um, like in which direction something traveled, which is why there's like bloodhound or whatever dogs that can like track that or like um cadaver dogs.

SPEAKER_01 11:22

I've been hearing a lot about that in all my dateline watching lately.

SPEAKER_00 11:26

Oh yeah. Um they can also potentially like smell how recently something was there, um, disease-associated chemical changes and literal time.

SPEAKER_01 11:39

They can smell time.

SPEAKER_00 11:41

Yes, you heard that right. Dogs can smell time. Not literally. T H YME. Yep. O T I M E.

SPEAKER_01 11:47

Oh, okay.

SPEAKER_00 11:48

It's okay. So no, not not literally time, like it's 5 56 p.m., but instead they perceive the passage of time through the gradual decay and movement of odors in their environment. I don't. Yeah. Okay. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 12:02

I don't even know how to process this.

SPEAKER_00 12:03

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 12:04

A dog does.

SPEAKER_00 12:05

So a scent trail potentially contains information about what something is, where something was, and when it was there. Which means when you are on a walk and your dog stops for three minutes to smell one blade of grass, they're actually catching up on the neighborhood hot goss and not just being a literal pain in the ass. They can smell it.

SPEAKER_01 12:23

But then they can't even tell you what the goss was, so like it's kind of a pain in the butt still. Like, let's move on. Roger.

SPEAKER_00 12:32

But that's actually not where the amazing things about dogs sense of smell end. So, as I mentioned before, and you as you may know, dogs can sometimes detect diseases.

SPEAKER_01 12:42

Yes.

SPEAKER_00 12:43

It's really fascinating.

SPEAKER_01 12:44

So And also sometimes people can too.

SPEAKER_00 12:47

Really?

SPEAKER_01 12:48

Yeah, but we'll talk about that in a minute.

SPEAKER_00 12:50

Okay.

SPEAKER_01 12:50

I'll cross my fingers. Okay.

SPEAKER_00 12:53

So, um, so one that comes to mind is there's a girl that I follow either on TikTok or Instagram, I don't really remember, but she has diabetes and she has a dog that can alert her when her blood sugar drops. And I think that is so freaking fascinating. It's cool. It is so cool. Um, and dogs have actually been studied quite a bit regarding this ability over the past decades. Um, researchers have found that rather than smelling like a virus or a tumor directly, dogs detect something called the volatile organic compound or VOCs. And VOCs are microscopic metabolic waste gases that a sick body releases through breath, sweat, urine, etc. So um probably got that ketone breath. Yeah, exactly. So I'm actually just gonna tell you about three like major peer-reviewed studies that I found when I was looking into this um that basically showcase this ability, which I think is really fascinating. So um, the first is a study that took place in 2024. It's called the Multi-Cancer Mask Study. This was done by the organization Medical Detection Dogs and a tech company called Dognosis, which I think is so cute. They found that dogs could detect multiple types of early stage cancers using ordinary surgical face masks. So the method was that they they trained seven dogs and they were presented with face masks that had been worn by patients with various early stage cancers, including breast, lung, and gastrointestinal cancers. Um, and then they also presented them healthy like masks from healthy controls. In the results, the dogs successfully isolated the cancer-positive masks with sensitivity and specificity above 90%. I will link these studies crazy.

SPEAKER_01 14:47

Right. What are we doing here? I know. I love that.

SPEAKER_00 14:50

So the study proved that the cancer leaves a uniform non-invasive breast signature that dogs can catch before traditional medical scans can see a physical tumor.

SPEAKER_01 14:59

So, like, what if we're at the airport and it's like, okay, like walk past this like bomb-sniffing drug. Okay, now walk past the cancer dog.

SPEAKER_00 15:07

I'm glad you brought that up because the next study was just a few years ago during the panoramic. The pandemic, as you would say.

SPEAKER_01 15:15

Okay. I have a dog airport story, but go ahead.

SPEAKER_00 15:19

Oh god, okay. You have a story for everything, don't you?

SPEAKER_01 15:22

I know. Now I have two crossfingers, and I don't remember what the first one was for.

SPEAKER_00 15:26

So in 2023, there there was a global COVID-19 meta-analysis where researchers were trying to see if dogs could provide rapid screening on high traffic areas like airports.

SPEAKER_01 15:39

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 15:39

So a massive review published in the Journal of Osteopathic Medicine evaluated 29 distinct international studies involving over 400 scientists and 31,000 biological samples. So, with this method, the dogs were exposed to sweat, saliva, or urine samples from both infected and healthy individuals. And the results across the board, the medical sniffer dogs matched or outperformed traditional PCR and rapid antigen testing. In several rural world airport trials, dogs flagged asymptomatic positive patients with roughly 96% accuracy within seconds.

SPEAKER_01 16:20

With what? Roughly.

SPEAKER_00 16:22

Oh my god. Yeah. Roughly with roughly 96% accuracy within seconds. Be so for real right now. Girl, what are we doing? This would bypass the wait time of lab diagnostics, obviously.

SPEAKER_01 16:37

So we don't want AI to take our jobs, but dogs.

SPEAKER_00 16:41

Maybe. Did you read this before? Because that's literally what I said. It's not the robots that are going to take your job, it's the dogs.

SPEAKER_01 16:47

No, we're just one mind. Let me see. Well shit.

SPEAKER_00 16:54

Um and then the next is another, it's the University of Pennsylvania Canine Cancer Study. So conducted at the Penn Vet Working Dog Center. Researchers designed double blind trials using a high-tech scent will. So the method was that they completely eliminated the human bias. Dogs were evaluated alone in a room V, like through a video feed. They walked around a metallic, multi-pronged will holding different blood serum samples, some healthy, some containing malignant cells. The dogs could accurately differentiate between ovarian cancer samples, pancreatic cancer samples, and healthy controls.

SPEAKER_01 17:34

Wow.

SPEAKER_00 17:34

If a dog smelled cancer, it was trained to freeze and sit squarely in front of that specific sample container. I have links to all these studies if you want to read out.

SPEAKER_01 17:44

Why are we not using dogs? That's a great question. Okay.

SPEAKER_00 17:47

So the the amazing are really amazing, but the thing to remember is that dogs are also living things that have their own sets of emotions, needs, etc. So it's not necessarily feasible to have dogs set up in the lab at a hospital. So the exciting thing about that though is that um because we have studied this in dogs and that we were like trying to learn the mechanism of how their nose works and how they can do this. Um they are at the fine folks at MIT are actually learning from these studies and they're hoping to develop electronic versions of the VOC detectors to use in diagnostic medicine one day. Wow. So that's really fascinating for us.

SPEAKER_01 18:25

Very non-invasive. That's wonderful.

SPEAKER_00 18:27

Yeah, and maybe one day our profession will be teaching students about artificial dog noses for disease detection, which would be so cool.

SPEAKER_01 18:34

Are they wet? The dog noses.

SPEAKER_00 18:39

Probably let me just get in here really quick. People are like, just draw my breath. I'd rather you draw my blood.

SPEAKER_01 18:44

Never mind. That's that's weird. Does she have to wear that on her face? She don't just hold it.

SPEAKER_00 18:52

The doctor like turns around with his like dog nose.

SPEAKER_01 18:55

Hold on, let me get my let me get my special tool.

SPEAKER_00 18:58

You have to wear the dog ears.

SPEAKER_01 19:00

It works better that way.

SPEAKER_00 19:01

So you had mentioned the one of the reasons why your fingers are crossed is that you had mentioned that people can also smell disease.

SPEAKER_01 19:08

Oh yeah, there was a lady that said she noticed a smell of her husband when he got um Alzheimer's. Oh, really? Yeah. And so she noticed like a a change in his scent, and then she reported it, and they were like, okay, well, let's let's test this out. And she identified like nine out of ten people correctly.

SPEAKER_00 19:31

Whoa, that's amazing. Yeah, that is really cool. Good for her.

SPEAKER_01 19:35

Yeah, I'm sure dogs could do it too.

SPEAKER_00 19:37

Put her in the hospital.

SPEAKER_01 19:39

Yeah. Put her at the airport.

SPEAKER_00 19:41

Put her at the airport. She's just sniffing people.

unknown 19:43

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 19:44

She has to walk on all fours, though.

SPEAKER_01 19:47

With ears. On a leash. Oh dear. We're getting out of control.

SPEAKER_00 19:55

Um, there was another thing about dogs you wanted to say, but I don't remember.

SPEAKER_01 19:59

The other thing about dogs. Oh, no, I do remember. Thank you very much. When I was coming home from out of country a few months ago, um, like we were coming. Oh no, we were coming, we had just gotten to the United States, and there was a dog, like, so we're going through customs and there was a dog, and I got like identified or whatever. Like the dog stopped at my bag. Oh, geez. And I was like, Oh my gosh, what is in my bag? I have no idea. There is no drugs. Like, what are you none? What are you talking about? How would I even get drugs? I don't even know how to get drugs. I believe you. It smelled. It smelled I had an apple in my bag.

SPEAKER_00 20:36

Oh.

SPEAKER_01 20:37

And so the lady, so the lady was like, Oh, come over here. And she goes, and so I'm like panicking, and she's like, Do you have any fruit in your bag? And I was like, Yes, I do. Oh no. But that's not what I was thinking. I thought I got like, I don't know. I've never been stopped by a dog before.

SPEAKER_00 20:54

So they took it from you, they compensated.

SPEAKER_01 20:57

Yeah, and then I had to go through a special screening to make sure I wasn't bringing other suspicious fruits into the country.

SPEAKER_00 21:03

You weren't keistering anything.

SPEAKER_01 21:05

Yeah. My parents also had fruit in their bag, so we both had to go through.

SPEAKER_00 21:09

Whoops. Oopsie.

SPEAKER_01 21:11

But it was interesting because I was like, I was so nervous, and the lady was just so nice, and she's like, Oh, do you have any fruit on you? And I was like, Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 21:19

Interesting. Yeah. Because you wouldn't think that they would.

SPEAKER_01 21:23

You're thinking that they're stopping you for drugs, but also they don't want like fruit or they don't care about drugs, because like whatever, but don't you bring them apples in here and those bananas? Fair enough. This shit is bananas.

SPEAKER_00 21:37

B A N A N A N. Okay. Um, so that's pretty much all I have on on dogs and sense of smell. Um, and I've just done a deep dive on dogs and how they perceive smells, and that's that's it. Yes.

SPEAKER_01 21:50

I've been listening to a lot of Dateline lately. Yes. Because I go through waves where I just really like Dateline. And they always talk about the dogs. They always bring the dogs in, and I'm like, why is there not a dog in every police department?

SPEAKER_00 22:04

It seems like we need a dog in every field at this point. Like, put 'em in the hospitals. Put 'em they help for like cheering people up, but also apparently they can detect disease really accurately. Apples. Yeah, or apples. They can be working in the kitchens. They can

SPEAKER_01 22:19

You know who's coming for your job, dogs.

SPEAKER_00 22:22

Dogs. Dogs are coming for your job. It's not AI.

SPEAKER_01 22:24

Nope.

SPEAKER_00 22:25

It's dogs.

SPEAKER_01 22:26

You heard it here first, folks.

SPEAKER_00 22:28

So now that we have done a deep dive on this, we're gonna play a game and we're gonna test your sense of smell.

SPEAKER_01 22:33

Okay. You know what? I never I think I had COVID one time. And not I think. I know I had COVID one time because I tested positive one time, but I never lost my sense of smell.

SPEAKER_00 22:43

I didn't either.

SPEAKER_01 22:44

So that I'm aware of.

SPEAKER_00 22:47

Yeah, no, I I didn't either. Okay. That I'm aware of either. Um, I think things did taste a little weird. And actually the medication, so my husband also had COVID. Um, and he ended up it was when they like developed the medication for it, and he went and got it, and he said it changed the way things tasted. Oh. Which is interesting. So um he's fine now, obviously.

SPEAKER_01 23:09

But he's having sleepovers.

SPEAKER_00 23:12

So in front of us over here on this lovely little MRI machine table we have here. Um, I have a few containers that I have numbered and they contain different smells. I'm gonna have you smell one, describe what it smells like and what it reminds you of, and then guess what it is. Okay. Whenever you're ready. You can start with whatever number you want. You don't have to do one, it's just one through five.

SPEAKER_01 23:33

No, I'm not gonna be chaotic. I'll start with one.

SPEAKER_00 23:35

Okay.

SPEAKER_01 23:37

That one has a color.

unknown 23:39

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 23:40

You're not using your eyes, you're supposed to use your nose. I won't look at any of the other ones, but it's like cotton pads or whatever. Yeah, it's called cotton rounds. Oh, I'm so scared. This is like the like, see if you can guess like the soda, and then people are like, I saw one the other day, like you know the drink one? Yeah. And I saw one the other day where a lady put a straw into like beans. So he got like bean water or like soy sauce.

SPEAKER_00 24:03

I've seen the soy sauce sauce.

SPEAKER_01 24:04

Oh, okay. Okay.

SPEAKER_00 24:10

What is that?

SPEAKER_01 24:11

It's like chocolatey.

SPEAKER_00 24:13

Uh so describe what it smells like and then what it reminds you of.

SPEAKER_01 24:17

And it's got like a little bit of a like alcohol-ish scent to it. Is it like Kahlua?

SPEAKER_00 24:27

No. Don't mind telling you what it is.

SPEAKER_01 24:29

Is it black beans? No, what is it?

SPEAKER_00 24:31

Vanilla. Which makes sense if you've ever made your own vanilla. That's true.

SPEAKER_01 24:35

That uses alcohol.

SPEAKER_00 24:36

It does use uh uses like yeah, that smells good.

SPEAKER_01 24:39

Okay, I'm not gonna look because I don't know if any of the other ones have colors. So I'm not gonna look at it. Shouldn't. Because that that did bias my opinion.

SPEAKER_00 24:46

Looking at it? Yeah. Yeah. Okay. All right. That was number one. She got it right. That's number two. Yep, that's number two.

SPEAKER_01 24:52

I got it like partially right because I said alcohol. Okay. And and vanilla. I said chocolate. That's you said kind of that's not.

unknown 25:00

Okay.

SPEAKER_01 25:01

Guys, this is so scary.

SPEAKER_00 25:06
