<p>Most people would want to know if they had an odor that was unpleasant. I can’t imagine not wanting to know if I was unaware that something was offensive to others. This happened to my DH- one of their contractors (might have been an employee, don’'t recall) but regardless, they were often in very small quarters with 4 or 5 people and the stench about killed everyone. They couldnt work, get through their meeting, etc. I believe they asked the manager of this person to say something. Don’t know exactly what he said, but it got better… briefly. Didn’t last, unfortunately, and the smell returned. </p>
<p>My S#2’s roommate was terrible about bathing and washing his clothes. I gave my DS as a holiday gift one of those automatic air freshener dispensers that sent out a puff every 30 seconds or so. It was his favorite gift! Things got a little better, after much prodding from the other roommates, when he (the smelly guy) got a girlfriend!</p>
<p>I had a friend who took a lot of vitamin supplements. Some of the fish oils/choline supplements make you smell like dead fish. And burp up fish smell. Some people have a metabolic issue, but I think that’s not all that common.</p>
