OK I have done the experiment. It was a massive failure.

So on a normal day I cannot smell ants. I can smell ants if I'm close and I squash them so I now know what they smell like.

I fasted for almost 3 days and I tried to smell ants each day and I could never smell them.

I did learn that they bite and I got bit a lot.
