Researchers at the University of Chicago have found that people who develop dementia have difficult identifying certain odors. Subjects who couldn’t identify four out of five scents were found to be twice as likely to develop dementia within five years.
Those scents: peppermint, fish, orange, rose and leather. The fewer of these a person could identify, the more likely that person developed dementia.

I think it would be a more fun way to pass time by scattering fairy dust and hear twinkle sounds under those circumstances.
What if you can smell orange but have dementia and don’t know it’s orange, but think it’s potato?
Doctors say, if you smell burning tires, you’re having a stroke. Or, I say, you’re on Arch Street in Philadelphia.
So they’re saying people with dementia no longer have good scents?
