If I touch an ant I can certainly smell it on my finger but I wouldn't be able to detect an ant in the room with me

I can't say I've ever gotten ant on my finger then proceeded to smell my finger.

When I was a kid it was a thing to stick a stick into a nest of ants so they'd piss on it so you could then suck/sniff the stick for a... sensation.

I never did as I didn't want to bother the ants.

I can't do that, I think you have special ant powers

I can register formic acid if I touch an ant or am fairly close. Probably wouldn't smell an ant from a distance, though
