Something Fishy:
SMH reports on a rare heriditary disease that makes people smell like fish. Apparently sufferers’ livers are unable to metabolise a chemical produced by intestinal bacteria, and the chemical is then ‘sweated out’, as well as being discharged in other bodily secretions, making the person smell like decaying fish.
Excuse the pun, but that’s rotten! In such a case it might just be better to go around smelling like cheap cologne. Just imagine how having this would torment vegetarians!
