I've always been able to smell them. I can't believe there are people out there who can't. My world has been rocked.

Non-ant-smeller here. Can you smell them before you see them? Or is the smell usually after you see them?

For me it's usually only after they've died. They have this bitter, extremely unpleasant acidic smell to them.
