I hope so. I have an inherited condition Hyperosmia, which is a hyper sense of smell. It can be miserable at times. I can smell things from far away and many scents give me instant headaches and other allergic reactions. Cigarette smoke, perfume, cologne, weed, body odor and other strong smells make me extremely sick. It is one of those things that if you have never experienced it, you have no idea how miserable it is to have. People think that it is an over reaction but it is real and I wish that people would understand and not drown themselves in perfume and cologne because it really does affect many of us.

A mash-up of two words to make a new word (such as breakfast and lunch into brunch, or motel from motor and hotel) is called a portmanteau. In case you’re wondering, the word “portmanteau” itself is not a portmanteau; it’s a compound word that refers to a duel-sided suitcase. (merriam-webster.com)

People who suffer from boanthropy believe they are a cow and will try to live their life as a cow.
Among lost works, this story might be even worse: Ernest Hemingway’s first wife, Hadley, left a suitcase full of the author’s writing on a train. When she went back to get it, it was gone. “I had never seen anyone hurt by a thing other than death or unbearable suffering except Hadley when she told me about the things being gone,” Hemingway wrote in A Moveable Feast.
