body odor and breath odor like a pickle Posted: 02-21-08 18:39pm
I have a co worker that has an offensive
pickle like breath and body odor problem.
What could be the cause of this... no, she
isn't eating pickles. It isn't like
vinegar either, it is a dill scent. Very
strong though!
Could it be digestive?
Dental?
Sinus infection?

I have no idea! Does she shower every
day, have good hygiene? All the things
you listed could be the problem or all of
them combined plus other things could be
too. If she has been smelling like this
for a while, she probably doesn't even
know that she smells like this. Normally
if you smell a certain way constantly, you
can't smell it.
It might be that her pH is off balance.
Or she could have halitosis (dental caused
bad breath). She could also have a
problem with her internal organs, like her
kidneys, or it could be a really bad case
of a yeast infection.
It would probably be a good idea to
mention this to her, as she probably
doesn't know...and probably would like to
know for social reasons....and also
because if she does have a condition, it
is important that it is treated,
especially since it could be something
like kidney or liver disease and
life-threatening.
