| Sniffing body odor from sweat could reduce social anxiety, new research suggests |
| 2023-03-27 |
| Summer's coming, girls! [FoxNews] Smelling other people’s sweat might not seem like a desirable activity, yet a new study from Sweden suggests that exposure to body odor could be an alternative therapy for social anxiety. The study’s findings were presented at the European Congress of Psychiatry, held from Aug. 25-Aug. 28 in Paris. Elisa Vigna, the lead researcher from the Karolinska Institute in Stockholm, Sweden, said at the conference that when people are in a certain "state of mind" and then sweat, their perspiration includes certain molecules — or "chemo-signals" — that convey their "emotional state" and elicit "corresponding responses" in those who smell it. |

| #2 Sounds like something that came out of Sweden. Ever ridden in mass transit with someone who smelled appalling? It does not "ease social anxiety." |
