    I can smell ants and it’s a pretty weird smell, but I don’t get any of the bitter food problems that some people have with certain vegetables.

    With the exception of mushrooms. For some reason mushrooms spark that same sensitivity to ant scents, it’s a similar sickly scent and makes me think of decay and loamy undergrowth and is very unappetizing so I’ve never enjoyed mushrooms.

      decay and loamy undergrowth

      That’s about the closest descriptor I can think of as well. Ants are more metallic to my scent than mushies but that’s it.
