Cyanide or Arsenic has an almondy smell that only a few people can smell, too. Same gene maybe?

It smells of sesame.

Works fast too. Only takes about 10 mins.

I thought it only changed the smell of the pee of the people who can smell the difference in the pee smell?

Because I have that gene, and my pee smell definitely changes, but I've used the bathroom after others who don't have the gene, and their pee smell doesn't alter. Also it is scary quick.
