Default RE: Chlorophyll tablets... Anyone?

Thanks for the input fellas. I'm a total scent eliminationnut, so I definitely smell what you're cooking. (pun intended)

I'd sell my soul to spend one day in my life as a whitetail deer, just to see what they see, smell what they smell, and think what they think. Most people can't comprehend how well a whitetail can detect chemicals/smells in the air. They can even isolate just a few parts per million of certain airborne particles.We just can'twrap our mind around that kind of sensitivity, just based on our own sensitivity limitations.

Then, they have the vomeronasal glands - that we can't even fathom how those work, b/c most experts say that we don't even havean active form of that"sixth"sense. It's some kind of chemical detection system for breeding. Trying to understand how that works is like trying to understand what the color Purple is like, if you were born blind. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vomeronasal_organ

I mostly keep my clothes stacked in plastic tubs, powdered down with Arm & Hammer, stuffed with leaves, nuts and dirt -then sprayed with scent killer. I keep the tubs locked away in a basement closet. Cut the hair, watch the sweat, do the scent clothing, deodorant, soaps - stay "clean" - rubber gloves/boots...etc... Still not enough.

I've done everything from poop collecting to freshly harvested tarsals to practically bathing in dirt to cover my scent - and you still can't fool their snouts... truly amazing.

From what I've read - these chlorophyll tabs really will make a difference. They prescribe them to people with body odor disorders - and get great results. It's only a few dollars, so I'm gonna give it a go.

This reminds me of a story - back in 1999, I had a summer job picking ordersfor a huge food vendor at their centralized logistics hub. Being low man on the totem pole (college summer help), we got the worst jobs - picking grocery storeorders in the frozen foods section.

The "bread" coolers were 0 degrees F, and the "Ice Cream" coolers were -32 degrees F. It was so cold in there that the tiny bits of moisture on your eyelashes would stick together sometimes when you blinked. At -32, dry ice would just sit there like frozen water- no "steaming." An 8-16-24 hour shift in that place was just brutal.

Anyway, at -32, there is zero moisture in the air - and a complete lack of scent. So, 8, 10, 12, 16 hours of heavy laborin there would completely clear your nasal passages out.

When the shift ended, you would walk outside, and could smell EVERYTHING. You could tell exactly what the neighbors were cooking. You could tell which trees were pollenating. You'd go change clothes in the locker room, and you could still smell yesterday's pizza on your t-shirt. The parking lot would overpower you with the odor of diesel fuel, exhaust, motor oil... It was totally amazing.

So I figure if the human nose is capable of that kind of sensitivity - and awhitetail snout 1000x more powerful - that's just mind blowing.
