Monica, that is fascinating - indeed, essential knowledge. I’ll certainly be investing in catering sized tins of pineapple rings. Personally, I have found the use of seaweed liquor (fucus serratus) a useful and enjoyable post/pre Congress application. There is evidence that seaweed was used in China for its anti-microbial function. Thank you for all you fascinating information - and I’ll look forward to your ? forthcoming book!

Glad you enjoyed the post, Rory. And you’re bang on with seaweed, as of course you would know! The book is dying to get finished but the Lyme clinic is taking priority at the moment. I need a whole second lifetime really :)

Cod leans over to partner in post coital bliss and says “hmmm, you smell of human”

Thanks Monica. Its fascinating to understand some of the complexity of our interactions at a subconscious level. I've noticed some of the smells and effects that you mentioned including truffle which I consider to have aphrodisiac effects.

I expect that the Catholic church would be delighted to know that the use of the contraceptive pill could result in incompatible relationships that may end in Divorce.😬

Ah truffle! There’s a delight. A friend of mine dislikes The Miller mushrooms on the basis that their ‘wet flour’ smell is more like semen. It’s amazing the complexity and subtlety of scent in nature.
