This woman has a special ability, even though people thought she was crazy. In 1982, Joy greeted her husband when he came home from work and noticed he had a very bad smell. He took a shower, but the smell stayed. Her husband thought it was something from work, but over the days, weeks, and months, the smell got stronger. Joy was upset that she was the only one who noticed the smell. Nobody else thought her husband smelled bad. Eventually, Joy had to learn to live with the smell. Twelve years later, doctors diagnosed her husband with Parkinson's disease. When Joy went with him to a support group, she smelled the same odor, but much stronger, on all the Parkinson's patients. She realized she could smell Parkinson's disease. Joy contacted researchers, but they didn't believe her and thought she was crazy. However, Joy didn't give up. The scientists finally tested her by having her smell t- shirts. She identified which owners had Parkinson's disease, making only one mistake. Eight months later, the person she was wrong about was also diagnosed with Parkinson's, so she had detected it almost a year before the doctors did Thanks to her, scientists found molecules related to Parkinson's in skin oil, which allowed them to develop skin tests that can detect the disease with 95% accuracy. This allows doctors to start treating patients much earlier
