Despite years of research and the advance of techology, there are some things about human\u2019s body that still remain a mystery for doctors and researchers. Knowing how complex our bodies are, this doesn\u2019t really come as a surprise.<\/p>\n
As some of us have what we call a sixth sense and can predict things in advance, a recent research revealed that we can also sense when death is approaching. Scientists say that when someone dies, the body immediately begins to break down. During these moments, putrescine, a foul and toxic scent that is the result of decomposition, is released. Apparently, humans subconsciously recognize this putrefying odor. Not only that, the scent, when released, causes an immediate response.<\/p>\n
Two researchers, Arnaud Wisman from the University of Kent\u2019s School of Psychology in Canterbury, UK and Ilan Shira from the Department of Behavioral Sciences in Arkansas\u2019 Tech University in Russellville, AK, say that just like animals, humans can sense scents and then act accordingly. At the end of the day, that\u2019s part of survival across the species.<\/p>\n
When humans are exposed to the odor of putrescine, they express a conscious and subconscious reaction to it.Some of the experiments conducted by these two researchers revealed that when people are exposed to the scent of putrescine, they move away, just like the animals which either run away or fight when they sense danger.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
