Since pheromones are capable of exploiting all these desirable traits, is it possible for a spray to exploit the undesirable ones; paranoia, fear, depression, anxiety, etc… ?
Yep, will prove extremely useful in warfare, prisons and interrogations. But I’m sure our nation’s finest has that one covered. Sheesh, it would be a great way to speed up traffic in public bathrooms. Of course, it would probably be effective on both target and wearer.
Yes it is possible. I was reading that the University of Iowa was spraying their football players with the pheromone for fear. After 4 weeks they were immune to its effects but their opponents were not. They felt this would give them the winning edge but unfortunatley smells don’t make up for a crappy football team. But this means scientists at Iowa isolated this pheromone so it is real.
