Question:

I have a co-worker who emits a VERY strong pickle-like smell. I have never seen her eat a pickle. It isn`t just from her breath, although that is the strongest. Her body puts off the odor too. What could be the cause of this? It isn`t the vinegar scent like bad feet either, it is more pungent and, well, dill like.

Answer:

It could be but is hard to say. Does she have any other underlying medical conditions, for example, kidney or liver problems? These are the other organs that help people excrete things.
