Can anyone else here smell illness?

I'm serious! My kids had the flu (the honest to goodness influenza) last week, and I could tell immediately by their smell that something was wrong. My daughter "smelled" like she had a fever before I even laid a hand on her forehead. It's happened on other occasions, too.

Just wondering if anyone else has had a similar experience....

1. My husband often can, especially in our son.

He knows before me when I'm about to menstruate, too.
