Pheromones: Difference between revisions

Glands can be covered by ‘scent blockers’, patches that will filter the released pheromones and capture certain types. Patches almost never block ALL pheromones, for a variety of reasons. It would be quite expensive and bulky to have filters for ALL the possible pheromones a human might release, and different people have different pheromone cocktails. Also, a scentless person is usually disturbing to others, and it’s attention catching to have the pheromones in the air blocked by something with no scent. Most common patches are designed to filter pheromones associated with arousal (including heat/rut), anger, and distress. Specialty patches that block other emotional cocktails, and medical patches for abnormal pheromone production disorders, are also available. There are also medications designed for people who overproduce pheromones.
