I beleive certain smells can indicate certain disorders, but I don’t know specifically in regard to mint. My own observation is that it indicates your body excreting salicylates – widely consumed in the foodchain so not merely related to consuming mint. Perhaps you have a sensitivity to salycilates and your body is saying you’ve had enough. Or perhaps there is an absorption problem.
