I watched the BBC interview with the doctor who had this project. In his opinion, it’s a game-changer. And he says that he’s had several other people to come around and note they could smell the same thing. The problem is...how you package this and start to identify how the scent occurs.
She could really start a cottage industry here with her sense of smell.
While it seems like it would require her or another person who can identify the scent to be involved, what this really indicates is that Parkinson’s creates a chemical change to the body, in particular to the gases emitted from the pores, that gives early indication of the onset of the disease.
What they need to do is identify this chemical change and then they can test it in a routine way for people who might be at risk of Parkinson’s disease.
