I dunno whether to mark this NSFW or not but do your worst.

Many years ago, I went to a plant manufacturing cooking oil. We were installing new fatty acid deodorizers. Damn, they needed them.

Pulp and paper plants are pretty nasty; and food processing plants with wet/rotting grains are vile. I used to get highly amused by auditors puking. Raw sewage generally smells better - lol.

I had a serious case of chickenpox right before I turned 21. All over crust, mouth, eyelids, ears, groin…I smelled like I was rotting and eventually was hospitalized for two weeks. The nurses took turns or drew straws or something. I pretty much went out of my mind for awhile.

On a positive note, afterwards, I didn’t have any kind of acne for like 5 years.

So you pretty much shed a layer of skin. Like a snake.

Gnarly.

The body odor of a friend who got out of bed when I was crashing at his house. I wanted to throw up on the spot, it was awful. I’m not sure what it was, but it smelled like he hadn’t showered in months but he didn’t smell like that the previous day.

He probably hasn’t changed his sheets, so the surprising amount of swear you she in bed, along with the considerable amount of dead skin, bacteria, hair, and skin oils are causing seriously bad BO.

There’s a reason why I have a waterproof bed protector. Wash the sheets ever week or two weeks, wash the bed protector every couple. Your bed won’t smell musty or get bad dust mites that way.

That’s what I thought, but they honestly didn’t smell bad at all. I remember they were odorless which really threw me for a loop. I wonder if he had some unknown condition or shat himself while asleep or something. But I’ll never know because we stopped being friends for other reasons. *sad noises*
