It's gone.

The smokers I pass in the grocery store are not gone.

I swear I can smell them aisles away.

A new, and fairly nasty, superpower.

Messing with tomato plants and not immediately rinsing my hands off will cause my hands to develop small blisters including in the palm of my hands. Some weeds can also cause this.

These blisters itch terribly and will not stop itching until I prick them open and release the fluid that is in them. It really sucks because I love tomatoes and am not very good about washing my hands.

That's pretty awful. Especially if you love tomatoes! Tomato plants are not something I've grown for a long time.

I'm trying to clear the house of some of it's food and we've had tomato juice sitting, waiting for someone to open it. Vitamin C is the only thing I can see that I'm not ingesting because I never been a fan of organ meats. Beef liver (and likely other liver contain Vit C) So I drank 1/3 of a glass. I have close to the same reaction as you except my skin splits instead of developing small blisters. My hands are "almost" healed now...a couple of days later. They just look wrinkly and nasty until they're completely healed. (That'll teach me!)

Edit to add: This also affects my lips the same way. Everyone thinks it has to do with washing my hands...but I am not washing my lips.

Tes are you done painting yet?

The smoke deadens their olfactory senses just like excessive perfume does. Smokers and people that wear too much perfume will insist that you cannot smell it on them but all non smokers easily smell the stink.

You need some of Wick's gloves....she has millions of them.

I do! I buy dozens when they're on a good sale. I must still have about a dozen boxes left.
I've got the sale alert on so I can catch them on sale again.

Maybe I can become one of those silly Marvel characters with my new powers.

I can't help it. He's prettier than her, and friendlier. He's a superior creature.

(Males usually are friendlier) In my experience.
I generally ALWAYS get along better with males. Generally.

I'm having a hard time understanding how I couldn't smell it before.
