The Nose
Joy Milne tells Nicky how she smelt her husband’s Parkinson's a decade before his diagnosis, and Dr Perdita Barran explains why Joy’s talent represents a scientific breakthrough.
Nicky learns how the power of super-smeller Joy Milne has been harnessed to make a new test to diagnose Parkinson’s. They discuss her ability, how she found out that she had identified the smell of Parkinson's, the other illnesses she can smell and the ethical dilemma that comes with being able to diagnose with her nose.
