Holy shit I thought I was either full of shit or a mutant freak. I'm happy to be a mutant freak.

I feel so validated right now you guys have no idea.

This! I used to tell people all the time I could smell some ant hills from several yards away. Fire ants smell like death. The larger and more aggressive species in my area smell more than the more benign ants. I'm sure it's a warning to other animals to stay away.
