If a sommelier can learn to distinguish the various aromas in a glass of wine with extra sensitivity, it seems that with the right exercises you should be able to train yourself to distinguish things with less sensitivity.

Can the brain be trained to somehow interupt/retrain the smells/odors differently so as not to be as poisons to the system?
