Again- the studies _have not_ shown any 'exuding' mechanism among humans.
The infamous 'smell of fear' is probably other things.

And it sounds like your mother has a knack for finding the places other
people like to sit at the beach. Is she into real estate?

The very real problem with inquiries into thing like 'why did you sit
there?' is the incredible amount of variables, coupled with the usual
answer given to direct interrogation- 'oh, just felt like it.'
