It is already very difficult to detect the state of stress. Its symptoms have been ignored for a long time. But now scientists have found a unique way to detect the initial state of stress. They have found that specially trained dogs can detect a person's stress just by smelling his breath. Scientists will now try to train the dogs living with the elderly specifically for this, so that they can identify the stress of their companions and help them in time.

In this, the participants gave their breath samples while wearing a face mask, one of which was in a calm state and the other while remembering their experience of extreme stress while wearing the mask.
