TRIMETHYLAMINURIA is a rare genetic disorder that causes people to smell like rotten fish, rotting eggs, garbage, or urine. No amount of bathing or cleaning will help you get rid of it.

Trimethylaminuria is a rare genetic disorder in which the body is unable to break down trimethylamine, a chemical compound that has a pungent odor. Trimethylamine has been described as smelling like rotting fish, rotting eggs, garbage, or urine. As this compound builds up in the body, it causes affected people to give off a strong odor in their sweat, urine, and breath. The intensity of the odor may vary over time. The odor can interfere with many aspects of daily life, affecting a person's relationships, social life, and career. Some people with trimethylaminuria experience depression and social isolation as a result of this condition. formal items in navy blue
