I wonder if I was smelling my friends sickness as a warning signal or something…

You wouldn't be the first person with the ability to 'smell' illness in people. I think most of us possess this ability but see/smell serious illnesses on such rare occasions that we don't make the association, and when some do-such as nurses-they often don't realize it's an odor that tips them off to serious illness, attributing it to 'intuition' instead.

It’s interesting how much our body is affected by emotions, some things you wouldn’t expect.
I remember when I was married. After my ex and I would get into a heated argument, my first pee would be dark orange every time. I always wondered what made it do that.

“Do you sweat profusely or tighten your muscles a lot when you argue?”
I am a sweater, yes. Also yes, on the tightening of the muscles. Within a month of us splitting up, my body felt looser than it had in over a decade.
Thanks for the reply. Makes a ton of sense. So it’s my kidneys that are affected. 👍🏼
My smeller is pretty good, like for finding nuances in whiskey or beer or food, but not that intense. A friend who liked to buy unusual drinks and give them to me gave me a French saison once and asked what I tasted in it. I smelled and sipped and said it had "a hint of stale urinal, but on in a bad way."
I am pretty sure you have a gift.
