ScienceDaily (Mar. 8, 2009) — When threatened, many animals release chemicals as a warning signal to members of their own species, who in turn react to the signals and take action. Research by Rice University psychologist Denise Chen suggests a similar phenomenon occurs in humans.
hen and graduate student Wen Zhou collected “fearful sweat” samples from male volunteers. The volunteers kept gauze pads in their armpits while they were shown films that dealt with topics known to inspire fear.

That's pretty well known. It's the same that the breath smells a bit like aceton when someone is nervous.

That guy does look like Alex.

Someone once told me that the weird smell at the vet's when you take your dog/cat/bird, etc in is the smell of the pets' fear. This could be completely false....

Well animals do emit pheromones in various situations and emotions such as fear for example, so it's possible. Whenever or not a human can consciously smell it, I have no idea.

It seems that humans, or at least some of them, have the right hardware for it, but it's not wired in. So whether the function is present in humans is debatable.
However there is no reported evidence that humans have active sensory neurons like those in working vomeronasal systems of other animals. Furthermore, there is no evidence to date that suggests there are nerve and axon connections between any existing sensory receptor cells that may be in the adult human VNO and the brain.

I remember smelling fear one time in my mother's sweat after she could not find me when she came to pick me up from school.
It was kind of a sharp acrid smell and that's how I realized that I had really frightened her.

Have smelled it in my daughter once. After a huge anxiety attack.
It's a very pugnant smell.
Poor kid at that moment. Shaking all over.

or they are just smelly bastards.

No, it was a unique smell, not like my mom's usual scent at all. I don't think you could mistake it if you ever smell it.
-
no, your mom's a smelly bastard instead :P

I can smell the fear....

SMELL THE GLOVE...

Actually, I think if you lived in Tornado Alley you'd definitely smell the fear, especially when those (hate group who must not be named) s approach. See, when the heavy stormcells merge and then create a supercell, then usual a twister will drop soon after. Mostly these (hate group who must not be named) s appear any time between Feb and June, and given that Tornado Alley lies east of the Rockies from the Texas panhandle to at least Ohio, there could be a lot of damage. Take May 1999, when a mammoth (hate group who must not be named) developed into a supercell and dropped several twisters, a shitload of damage and loss of life was caused then, and all in a short period.
