But... How do you even know you can smell ants? Why did you try it? Or can you smell them from meters away?

I can smell them like at a 1m distance. They smell bad. The first time I realized what they smell like, I took a bite of a muffin that I left on the counter. I tasted the muffin and another bad flavor so I looked and it had ants. From that moment I could smell them, not because I couldn't smell them before but because now I knew what they smelled like.

You might be missing out on a secret quest that ends with "get addicted to ants".
