For the past couple weeks, whenever I get home from work (around midnight:30 or so) I smell cigarette smoke. I live on the fourth floor of our apartment building and my windows are open, so it totally makes sense that this smell could happen.
Jack smells nothing.
I have a better sense of smell than him anyways.
Last night though, I started smelling this cigarette smoke in my car. While I was driving. On the NEW JERSEY PARKWAY.
Jack's awake when I get home.
I tell him the story.
Jack: You should check on Web MD.
Me: No, it will just tell me I have cancer.
Jack: Well it could be a tumor.
Me: It's not a tumor.
Jack: Or a seizure disorder.
Me: I don't have a seizure disorder. Besides, my bipolar meds are also anti-convulsants.
We sleep.
I wake up.
I google "olfactory hallucinations"
More than likely I have a sinus infection (or an actual tumor).
Web MD?
Well when you search Web MD for "olfactory hallucinations" I don't get "sinus infection" or "seizure disorder."
I don't even get "tumor" or "cancer."
Nope.
I get this:
Brain Eating Amoeba
Yup.
So, I think I'll name my brain eating amoeba.
I'll call it Brian.
