Mostly yes... But I do like spices. It's nice that only a Little bit of something can so alter the flavour of a dish... I like that a lot...
but the nose is mostly the reason me and my mum stay away from spice-shops... It's just asking us to sneeze...
Last time I was in one they'd spilled pepper the day before... My eyes were watering up and when asked why I told them it was a really strong peppery smell and after thinking about it, they then told me they'd spilled a single container the day before and had already cleaned it up and aired out the place. They didn't smell anything (neither did the friend that entered. But she knows my nose)... That's when I finally realized it's not normal to respond like that...
*glares at nose*
I'm never quite sure if I'm liking my nose or not... It's handy yes, but in today's world it's really not... But I figure it's better than not smelling at all... Food tastes SO bland whenever I do have a horrid cold...
