More About Asparagus Pee
Ever since I put up my original smelly urine post, Aurora has been insisting that asparagus doesn’t affect her urine. Turns out, though that she’s just one of the folks who can’t smell it even though the odor is there. Weird….

Do I really want to know how you came to this conclusion? The scientist in me shudders.

As little as one bite of asparagus is enough for me to have asparagus pea. I can detect it as soon as a half an hour after eating it. My entire family is like there, but it is true that some people do NOT have asparagus pee. Its a recessive gene.

I think you two should consider moving an exhaust vent for your bathroom up on the priority list of home improvement projects.

Perhaps her sense of smell is not attuned to this distinction of odors…mine did not seem to be until the last couple of years. Or another theory is that the smell is not as prominent in woman until later in life….
