The smell of fear

I listened to a woman this week who was talking about her adoption of older boys and during the talk, she mentioned that fear can make your body smell differently. I asked her if it was musty - kinda like an old attic. Yes. The way I know is that Amanda smelled like that when she came. I have never smelled that before and attributed it to her parasite. Apparently, it was fear. Thank God she no longer smells like that, but it really makes me understand a bit more what she has really gone through.
