I can't stand honey. It smells like when people sneeze, so I have never wanted to even taste it. So I guess bee phlegm and human phlegm smell the same to me?

    you can smell sneezes? or taste them?

    wild.

    I've had my dog sneeze in my mouth, but it didn't have a flavor or a smell.

    The smell comes from a person's saliva which often gets spewed into the air after a sneeze. The droplets hang in the air a long time. Some peoples' sneezes have a sickly sweet odour that smells the same as honey to me. Other sneezes don't smell like much of anything to me though. I don't know if I'm smelling an infection byproduct, a food, or maybe a lack of hydration causing their saliva to have a strong smell, but it always smells the same to me. As for taste? I think I'd rather not explore that. I imagine it might taste like it smells, so like honey.
