About me
Heather Ackmann was born without a sense of smell (congenital anosmia) and constantly finds herself explaining all kinds of strange things to strangers, like eating habits, whether she uses deodorant, and whether she can "smell this." She built this website for the curious who are afraid to ask, and for the afflicted who love to share. You can read more about me here
