Machine olfaction is the automated simulation of the sense of smell. This aromatic technology is still in its infancy promising many applications, such as:\n\n    * quality control in food processing;\n    * detection and diagnosis in medicine;\n    * detection of drugs, explosives and dangerous or illegal substances\n\nThere are hopes that smelling machines could do everything from test perfumes to help detect cancer, but as yet artificial noses are still quite inadequate.

Olfactory hallucinations are an early sign of a brain tumour.\n\nYou should consult a physician soon, for your own sake.\n\nIf you are lucky he'll just tell you that you are stupid, which is unfortunate, but not terminal.

If there is an unpleasant odor it can be a sign of a yeast infection. I recommend you see your gynecologist and have them do a lab test to tell for sure. If there is a yeast infection a doctor can clear it up in no time.\n\nJust so you know, masking the odor with artificial fragrances will only make matters worse.

Good question!\nI do not expect any points, all I know it has a cleaning affect on kidneys and bladder ridding the body of all radicals and wast products.\n\nThe smell is the bacteria being flushed out of your body.\n\nHopefully some Medical Guru can answer your question\n\nFOUND THE ANSWER IN WIkipedia:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asparagus\n\nSome of the constituents of asparagus are metabolised and excreted in the urine, giving it a distinctive, mildly unpleasant odor. The smell is caused by various sulfur-containing degradation products (e.g. thiols and thioesters). Studies showed that about 40% of the test subjects displayed this characteristic smell; and a similar percentage of people are able to smell the odor once it is produced. There does not seem to be any correlation between peoples' production and detection of the smell

Do a colon cleanse and make sure you eat at least one serving of raw vegetables a day. If your a big meat eater cut back. Sometimes meat can sit in your system and basically rot there causing extra smelly odors. Also get more good bacteria into your colon through yogurt or pills you can find at the health food store.

Some people call it "the smell of the sea", but actually it's the smell of the land.\n\nIt's caused by the stuff in the ocean being left behind as the tide receeds and rotting.

The waste from certain food causes the different smells in the urine.  Study what you are eating to find out the cause of the smell.  \nSometimes it is also caused by medication.  Study your intake to find out the cause and if you do not find any underlying foods causing the problem see your Dr.

Basically everyone has bacteria on their bodies that can smell.  Bacteria like to be in warm and wet places, like feet, so on feet they tend to multiply more, and cause more smell.  This is the same reason your armpits usually smell.\n\nHowever, athlete's foot (a fungus) can cause smell as well.

Possible an infection or some other kind of medical problem,  i suppose cancer could cause this kind of problem, i dont know anything about cance though.  Best solution is probably: Go to a doctor.  Whatever it is it needs attention.  Good Luck.

Odor's caused by moisture and bacteria in various places on the body (i.e. under the arms, between the toes etc) where there are sweat glands and lack of air flow.\n\nIt can be caused by the foods you eat, what you wear and the deoderant you use (or don't use).\n\nOdor is sometimes hard to control but never unavoidable, just try to be a bit understanding. If you need to get rid of an odor someone left behind (this used to happen to me at work all the time) then try this spray called "Approach" (www.approachit.net) it's good stuff, lasts a long time and you just spray till the odor's gone. Works like a charm. :)\n\nJust try not to sound so racially motivated with a question like that.

Food you eat can also cause I change in smell. Asparagus and Brocolli are notorious. Excessive red meats can do it too.

You eat really badly and you need a colon cleanse.  Clearly you are putting a lot of bad things in your body.  That smell of death is not a joke.  You probably have some dead things in there-like bad meat etc.  Try organic and juicing for a while.

The odor of a body that "stinks" is not due to the odor of sweat but is from the waste products of bacteria that live in the sweat. Corynebacteria and Micrococci are the usual suspects.

No. Cancer is due to genetic changes (mutations) that develop in cells when they divide. Most of these changes get repaired at the cellular level but some are not. If the change makes the cell behave and grow abnormally then this is cancer. Lots of environmental factors increase the risk of mutations or genetic changes including toxins in cigarette smoke - this is why cigarettes cause cancer.
