What can alter your odortype? If you eat a
great deal of garlic, it can impact your breath for 24-28 hours, and if you are
sweating a lot, sometimes it can temporarily alter the odor of your sweat. Many
people are familiar with stress-related odors. When you are stressed, you tend
to secrete more apocrine from the apocrine sweat glands in your armpits. In
combination with the bacteria on your skin, this milky fluid, most commonly
secreted in the presence of emotional stress, can create a rather unpleasant
odor. Drinking plenty of fluids, practicing good body hygiene, using
appropriate deodorants, and taking appropriate steps to manage emotional
stressors, can help reduce these stress-related odors. Some very rare
conditions can impact one’s odortype, as well. For example, a genetic disorder
known as trimethylaminuria (TMAU), which affects about 1 in 200,000 people. They don’t process trimethlamine
efficiently and it tends to build up in the body, resulting in a fishy odor in
urine, sweat, reproductive fluids, and breath.
