**My apology and excuses especially to those who are eating while reading this post. Body odor, stinking feet, bad breath, etc and the likes, I’m sorry for speaking gross. Peace! If you’re in crowded places, you may have the chance to smell unpleasant odors emitting from someone’s body or even from the person you know or talking with. This is quite embarrassing to that person’s part. Do you care to tell the person or you would just avoid?

Not just headache but the odor will make your stomach churn or it can faint a person.

The best thing to do. It's just a problem if you're dealing this person everyday.

Yes, this is especially if you are walking behind this person. I remember one time that one of my office mate remove her shoe and the stink filled the whole air conditioned room. She may noticed it though because she immediately go out.

Especially to person whom you do not know. Even if the person is your friend. I don't know but I have these feeling that if I have to tell the person directly he or she get offended.

If you're in this situation, you need to hold your senses power so that it won't let you down.

@ZedSmart true. Really true. I encounter that when i bump into some foreigners. I will not tell their nationalities here. But according to my friends, they rarely bathe themselves.

@Janet357 I'm sorry but I think I have the good guess. We should be aware in terms of personal hygiene. It's not only because it's healthy, but it also makes us presentable. My thought.

It could also knock you down. Sometimes, I could hardly breath when such odor is very strong and accidentally inhaled it.

I post a discussion about my cousin having a body odor and I planned to send her a gift this Christmas, something to make her odor away. Aside from bumping in a crowded place, that is why I don't like to be with people in a crowded place.

That's the good thing if we know the person because we can just let them know by giving them gift intended for that part. There are just chances especially if you're going to the malls or any public places where people gathered.

It depends on how comfortable you are with other person. Sometimes I say to people I am close with and avoid at other times.

Not sure of that. They should at least maintain the proper hygiene or if the problem could not be remedied with over the counter stuffs, it should be consulted to medical professionals to be treated. There could be underlying causes.

@ZedSmart The best solution for them is to take care of the hygiene possible, not to the third party if they can still accomplish it themselves.

I feel you. I have a sensitive sense of smell. My friends call me a canine for being keen in describing an unpleasant smell. Well, I if I know the person I would tell him about his unpleasant smell and would suggest things that might help him/her. But, if it is a total stranger, I'd avoid. :)

I am not confrontational type of a person. I would usually avoid so as not to hurt the feelings of the person. But if we’re close as friends I would tell him privately so he would know.

That's quite true. There were times for the people we know, we just keep it at first. But as a matter of caring, we thought the right timing.

I will smother my nose or move to someone who is more fragrant, so it won't smell.

Sometimes, friendly manner still hurts but I know that it's not our intent. If the person understand, if would save him to further embarrassment.
