Trimethylaminuria TMAU, formerly called Fish Odor Syndrome, is a metabolic disorder in which an individual is lacking the necessary enzyme to breakdown a chemical named trimethylamine. This missing enzyme causes trimethylamine to accumulate in the body and is then released in sweat, urine and breath. Some individuals give off a strong fishy body odor but it can vary to a garbage, burning or other body odor ( odour ) depending on the amount of residual enzyme. For further information go to:

Hi I have never heard of such a thing before but, it sounds a lot like TMAU Trimethylaminuria (TMAU), also known as fish odor syndrome or fish malodor syndrome [1], is a rare metabolic disorder. You can try to research it some more maybe its a diffrent form of it, If this is concerning you i would recommend some kind of body cleanser or detoxifying agent after consult a doctor to find out what is going on. Also try to limit the amount of meat you eat during any type of detox really hope i was of some help.Also there is a Msn support group for Body Odor and issues if you feel depressed you may go there for some support.Best Of LUck AnonymousKISS
