Certain animals, however, can hear very weak sounds at long distances. Above 100 decibels, even brief exposure can cause permanent damage. Some animals have a more highly developed taste sense and can taste whether vegetals are toxic. We can distinguish some 10,000 different odors. This is provided, of course, that our noses are not blocked by colds or allergies.
Gifted people working in perfume laboratories have extremely well developed smell organs.
Our touch organs are relatively underdeveloped, except in musicians and other people where touch is part of their profession. Generally speaking, Western doctors can feel only one pulse. In contrast, Chinese doctors can determine a great deal more about the functioning of your body by feeling six different pulses. Each pulse in connected to two of the major organs in your body. Cats have a very sensitive sense of touch in the hairs on their faces.
