Sweat isn't just wet - it can be kind of stinky, too. But the next time you get a whiff of yourself after...

The most likely cause is the chemical breakdown of proteins in food and saliva by a variety of micro-organisms (bacteria). The offensive odours are due to volatile sulphur compounds (VSC's) including hydrogen sulphide (H2S), methyl mercaptonm (CH3SH) and dimethyl sulphide (CH3SCH3). H2S is produced mainly off the top surface of the tongue and CH3SH and CH3SCH3 enrich the mal odour from the gums immediately round the teeth (Periodontal Tissues).

Most often, bad breath is caused by dental or periodontal disease. Some dogs do not adequately chew their food; thus they don't clean their teeth naturally by the chewing process. Also, some dogs and cats are just prone to dental plaque, tartar and disease. These pets may need more frequent dental cleanings and treatments. Internal diseases such as kidney disease can also cause bad breath.

You would know it if you had this problem! In some parts of the country, drinking water can contain the chemical hydrogen sulfide, which smells just like rotten eggs. This can occur when water comes into contact with organic matter or with some minerals, such as pyrite. The situation mostly occurs as ground water filters through organic material or rocks.

That is part of the winning trifecta: water bottle, cellphone and towel. If you have all three your are an accomplished non practitioner. Towelling off between every pose because you are made of sugar and you might melt, drinking your way to hyponatremia and keeping an ear out for when the cell will vibrate in your handbag will assure your yogic progress. You should use a towel to wipe the space around your mat if you sweat profusely. Otherwise leave it at home, Linus.

Sweating is how your body dissipates heat and keeps its core temperature down when you are working out. Usually the more you train, the more easily you sweat, because your body knows it is going to get hot and starts working to cool itself off. There is also the possibility of some having more sweat glands than others have -- men sweat more than women do for this reason. Overall, when you find yourself sweating more easily, take it as a good sign you're really fit!

Feet excrete as much as 8 ounces of moisture a day. This is due to the fact there are 250,000 sweat glands in both feet.

Dogs have the ability to sweat, but in places that are a little different from humans. Dogs sweat through their pads and feet. Their skin and armpit areas don't contain sweat glands like ours do. Their main method of ridding themselves from heat, however, is by panting, which is a very different mechanism than what we generally use. For these reasons, we must take great care to protect our dogs from heat stroke.

Well, it could be that he just needs a bath! If that is not the problem, its possible that he needs to have his anal glands expressed, or that there is an infection of the anal glands. Again, discuss with your vet.

Because I use an all natural soap base to make the glycerin bath bars, they contain a lot of glycerin. Glycerin is a humectant, it attracts moisture from the air, pulling the moisture to the soap. It may not be attractive, but it shows that the soap is high in glycerin! The soap is still perfectly good to use, just make sure you place it on a well draining soap dish between uses.

You may notice a slight odor on your skin a few hours after your session. Some comment that the scent is very pleasant, whereas others feel it is somewhat unpleasant.

The most common natural reasons for Florida’s water to smell unpleasant is because of the surrounding environment. With a high organic content, the water may smell "humic" and the presence of sulfur compounds makes the water smell of rotten eggs. Filtration often resolves the problem. Under certain circumstances, the human nose may also identify the presence of contaminants from spills, such as gasoline, or extreme bacteriological activity.

Water may have an undesirable taste or smell if it has been stagnant in household plumbing too long. A 3 X 7 flush should alleviate the taste and odor issues. Should the undesirable properties persist, decide if a particular faucet is at fault. Sometimes point of use equipment, water softeners, water heaters, or in-line filters, can be the cause of strange tastes or smells.

Fresh urine does not actually have an unpleasant odor, but the ammoniacal odor of stale (old) urine is due to bacterial decomposition of the urea in the urine, as well as the bacterial excrement itself. Nature's bacteria will continue to feed as long as there is a food source, and moisture. That is why the ammonia odor becomes stronger on humid days, or soon after a carpet has been wet cleaned.

When the urine dries, it forms microscopic sized salt crystals due to the action of the bacteria growing. As humidity and heat rise, these crystals absorb the heat and humidity and start to give off gases, producing that ammonia-like smell. Only the proper cleaning and odor destroying techniques that have been developed can eliminate these odors.
