Humans self-report sniffing themselves and their conspecifics. Parents report increased hand-sniffing in children aged 3–6. After observing the extent of human hand-sniffing, it could selectively increase or decrease hand-sniffing in participants as a function of the odourant we used to taint the high frequency of human olfactory self-sniffing (e.g. approx.
