Bad body odor could be in your DNA, dermatologists revealed.

While nearly everyone sweats, it turns out your genes could determine how much you perspire and how smelly you get.

Heather Kornmehl, a Texas-based dermatologist, informed her 111,000 TikTok followers that whether you get smelly as the day progresses or during a strenuous workout may be out of your control.

Some people are more likely to have a foul odor after a hard workout or a long day than others due to variations in the ABCC11 gene, which is responsible for producing underarm body odor.

If this is true, explain why my brother smells so much worse than I do? Same DNA, not the same funk.

Comments are probably gonna be funny too......some of y'all are funny.

It couldn't be my boiled eggs and garlic diet washed down by a delicious IPA or two.

I noticed that when I use cumin in certain dishes my BO becomes very shall we say "ethnic", so diet can affect things as well.

You are what you eat and all that.

Mosquitoes seem love me more no matter what tho.

Not to be confused with the East River Funk...

I’m also thinking it’s related to the prevalent skin microflora, which is transferred from the mother while nursing.

I’ve noticed that people who are very hairy will often keep a strong body scent, whether they shower or not.
That scent is not necessarily foul, but it can be noticable
.
Others may have skin that is naturally oily. They can be hairy or not at all hairy. They have their own natural scent. I’ve read that most Americans tend to over-wash, over-deodorize their skin, because of our culture.
No one wants to be ‘the bringer of Bad Smells ‘ in a public setting. We have all seen those commercials.

Same thing goes with the “Capital Crime” of halitosis.
I just finished a Western Novel by Robert Parker named Appaloosa. In it, no body talks about brushing their teeth even once. It was the way most lived until very recently.
