It's not just the livestock, BTW. I got stung by bees that hardly ever sting a couple days ago. More on my face and neck this afternoon. Man ... did it hurt!!
Have been trying to find anyone else who has reported this peculiar effect. I get the dog. I even get the livestock. But insects?? Is this detox making me smell like a threat?
Ouch I dont know is this common feature with the detox.
But now that i check , it seems as halogen group elements have indeed sweet odour/taste .
Why do many organic halogen compounds smell or taste sweet?
Btw , name bromine derives from the Greek βρῶμος (brômos, "stench" .
Honey bees smell sweetness somehow as they try find flowers...so this all makes now sense to me....the sweet taste of bromine , and possible other halogens make bees think they find food
It`s not nice to get stung by bees . I dont know is there anything that makes bees go away, other than smoke .
Potassium bromide
Quote:In a dilute aqueous solution, potassium bromide tastes sweet, at higher concentrations it tastes bitter, and tastes salty when the concentration is even higher. These effects are mainly due to the properties of the potassium ion—sodium bromide tastes salty at any concentration.
