why are feet smellier than other body parts?

there is bacteria living on the surface of your skin, when you sweat the bacteria feed of the sweat and emit a gas that is the smell, so no bacteria means no smell, keep your feet clean and wear clean socks put baking soda or something in your shoes and you should be ok, if its really bad talk to your doc or something maybe he can prescribe something for stinkafootus!?!?!

Hmm, I've never heard of a body that just smells like urine because of kidney disease, unless you pee on yourself or something. I have, however, heard of people having the ability to smell a certain pheromone called androstenone which can smell like urine to some people. It's a component of male sweat, so I dunno if this applies by your picture or name. But it's possible that perhaps you or members of your family can smell this, and if you're sweaty...

Well, i suppose it is because we can tolerate our on smells, but when we smell someone elses it just seems nasty!! It is in a way prejudice, we can handle our own but not others...

Hormones, biology and chemistry and bacteria.\n\nHair comes from the scalp. The skin on the scalp is different than skin elsewhere. It has special oil secreting glads to help lubricate and protect the hair. These glands produce oils that may cause an odor.\n\nFeet normally do not smell. But you take something and place it in a moist, dark, humid environment and things grow. The sweat is a rich nutrient for fungus and bacteria and these begin to grow. Often they are trapped in the shoe or sock an that is what really smells and the foot is just covered with the odor.\nArm pits sweat and accumulate bacteria and odor. Also hormones and pheremones are produced and excreted. The mouth is full ofbacteria, and if you do not brush and floss bits of food. Fairly obvious there. Some metabollic disorders and what you have recent eaten or drunk like coffee make an impact as well. Hands do not usually smell. Ears, see scalp, plus add cerumen (earwax). Groin, again, moist, hot, enclosed and perfect for things to grow. Plus hormones and pheremones and you have a perfect place for all sorts of odors.\n\nEach person has a slightly dfferent chemistry and odor. We may not be able to tell, but we are all unique. Like how Dogs communicate via scent and identify one another.\n\nWhat you eat, how you feel and your health all effect how you smell.  Of course, your personal hygiene makes a huge difference. Some people need to shower more frequently and keep themselves cleaner.

Toenails' growth get stunted by our constant wearing of shoes, socks, stockings, etc.  It's even covered up with blankets and sheets when we sleep. It is therefore less exposed to sunlight and air which favor growth. Toenails are often moist with perspiration and when walking barefoot it's among the first parts of our body that gets exposed to dirt and germs. It can also be quite difficult to reach when bathing or cleaning our body parts. Because of its distance from our eyes and nose it is often left neglected.

Why would boots be mad?\nDo your feet stink?

In some cultures, body odor is actually preferred to products that cover up or prevent the smell.  There is no hygienic reason to use it.

foot odor is caused by bacteria digesting sweat, there are two main ways to reduce the stink. You can:\n\n    * decrease the amount of bacteria on your feet\n    * decrease the amount of sweat that collects on your feet and in your shoes \n\nReducing the level of bacteria is really a matter of cleanliness. To control the bacteria population on you feet, you should:\n\n    * wash your feet with strong anti-bacterial soap\n    * wear clean socks\n    * don't wear the same shoes everyday - give a pair of shoes 24 hours or more to air out before wearing them again \n\nTo reduce the amount of sweat that collects in your shoes, you should:\n\n    * wear well-ventilated shoes instead of very constrictive shoes, such as boots\n    * always wear socks, preferably made of cotton or other absorbent materials that absorb a lot of the sweat so the bacteria can't feed on it\n    * change your socks a few times a day\n    * buy some absorbent Odor-Eater type shoe inserts\n    * apply an antiperspirant to your feet

Sweat if similar to urine in it's composition. Being properly hydrated and during exercise, sweat shouldn't smell like that if your body is free of toxins. Proper diet and exercise should resolve your problem. Many drugs can contribute to strange Oder's in sweat too. consider seeking medical advise and blood tests to determine your bodies needs and condition for treatment.\n\nUnusually smelly perspiration is actually a pretty common complaint, as is excessive perspiration. Sweat glands on the hands, feet, and forehead are active from birth; other sweat glands under the arms are activated during puberty. It's perfectly normal for a 12-year-old to have odorous underarms.\n\nThe sweat itself doesn't smell--at least not at first. But sweat activates certain bacteria that normally live on the skin, and it's the bacteria that produce the unpleasant odor. There are some rare diseases that cause children's sweat to smell very bad or unusual, but these problems are present from infancy, and are very, very unlikely in an adolescent who is otherwise healthy. By far, the most probable cause for smelly sweat is simply, well, smelly sweat. The medical term for excessive sweat is hyperhydrosis; the term for smelly sweat is bromhydrosis.\n\nWash with an antibacterial soap (Dial, for example) and use a deodorant, especially after exercising. Deodorants containing aluminum chloride are often effective in reducing sweat. Look out for rashes, however. Some children are sensitive to deodorants or the fragrances they are mixed with.\n\nIf washing and deodorants don't help, ask your doctor about topical medications that can reduce sweat or kill the bacteria that cause the smell. Some pediatricians and family doctors like to refer this problem to dermatologists, who may have more experience dealing with severe problems of this sort.

Body odors come from many parts of the body, not just the sweat glands. Hygiene, diet, laundry, perfumes-colognes-aromatic oils and health-ill-health are also known to affect the odors we give off, sweet or not so sweet.  \n\nBut there are 2 basic types of sweat glands, apocrine and eccrine.  Both types produce sweat, but the sweat is different chemistry and for different purposes.  Mammals have sweat glands covering their skin all over.  Sweat glands are important for evaporative cooling and are especially activated when body is overheated.  But the sweat glands associated with the hairy parts of the body that we get a puberty are different, and the odors associated with these parts (axilla and pubic hair) of the body give distinct odors associated with stress and or mating-pairing-breeding-sex and the conscious-unconscious communications by "pheromones" and are activated by the sympathetic nervous system when we are in a "stimualted-fight or flight emergency." Diabetics who are not in good blood sugar health or people losing weight rather rapidly can also have the smell of KETONES coming from them breath or skin.

That is a great question.  I know if I have been working out or something, I can smell myself so I know others could but I think for most people if it goes on like that day in and day out, they have smelled so bad for so long they really don't notice it.\n\nI worked with a girl one time that reeked and I really don't think she knew it at all.

It is not true with all men. Some men do have worse odor like some women do. It usually depend upon how one's body prespire. Some people prespire but they have no odor. It is not necessary only men have worse odor. It is actually how our body acts. Body odor can be controlled by using deodorants and perfume and using quick dry clothes. Frequent shower also help. If odor is uncontrollable, then doctor should be seen.

Besides glucose in your blood there are several other substances that can vaporize into the air, some of these chemical compounds such as ketones have sweet odors when they vaporize you can only smell things that vaporize this means that they must become airborne particles.\nSo its not the blood but the things that are in it what gives the sweet odor

Okay time for a real answer.\nIt is probably sweat that is causing the bacteria to smell. I would get those masingill wipes (the unscented sensitive ones) and wipe yourself throughout the day to refresh yourself. I would also wear cotton underwear. If you are wearing silk this may be the problem..also thongs may be the culprit. I would stick to regular underwear. \nHope this helps!

Yes because your feet will stink.
