What Your Body Odor Says About Your Health
If your body smells fishy...
...you may have a disorder called Fish Odor Syndrome or Trimethylaminuria. It manifests in an offensive body odor and the smell of rotting fish in the urine, sweat, and breath of people with this disorder because of excessive excretion of trimethylaminuria (TMA). Unfortunately, it is a genetic disease, and symptoms make themselves felt from birth. Other causes of a fishy smell can occur as a result of an excess of proteins in the diet or from the presence of specific bacteria. That’s why this syndrome’s treatment, apart from antibiotics and specific acid lotions, includes certain dietary requirements.
