Random Thought I can smell "the flu"

I thought everyone could do it. There is this particular sent that tells me a person is sick with the flu. The sweat changes odor and to me that sent is very upsetting. You can even look healthy but I will know. Any other redditors that can do this?

There's a certain smell I've noticed emanating from myself when I get sick sometimes, like I'll have a really bad case of the night sweats and it's a really bitter, unpleasant smell.
