You must have heard many people saying that animals can smell fear in humans. As soon as you get scared, they sense it and immediately attack. Therefore, no matter what the animal is, one should not be afraid. But is this really the case, can animals really smell fear in humans? Shocking claims have been made regarding this in the study.
According to the report published in Scientific Reports Journal, animals like dogs are known to react to our expressions and body posture. They recognize us by seeing our reaction. Scientists did long research to know their nature. A team of 100 people was shown clips of a comedy film one day and a horror film the next day. Then their sweat was collected and smelled on the dogs and horses.
Did he know what fear was?
The result was shocking. When he smelled the comedy sweat, he used only his left nostril. This revealed which part of the brain they were using to smell. Used both nostrils to smell horror movie samples. It clearly means that he knew what fear was? That means they were able to identify by sweat.
Many compounds in human sweat
Scientists also explained the reason behind this. According to a Live Science report, human sweat contains many compounds, such as adrenaline or androstenedione. When a person feels scared, they change their body odor. According to scientists, animals feel afraid due to this smell. Second, the human reaction matters even more.
