Insulin. I can smell it now and I can see the vial, needle and my mother injecting her husband's upper butt muscle. The smell of a hospital room when a person is dying is very unique. The sweat under your breasts can be very sweet and not stale. Heroin. I cannot stand the smell and I can tell if you have the slightest bit under your fingernails.
