Depending upon where your office is, would be a clue as to what it could be. If you're in a tropical place, insecticides could be used and the residue could be noticed, this wouldn't be toxic to humans (current drug standards prevail), unless someone is allergic, but they would have to have a huge dose to be affected. If you're in a cold climate, then what is used for heating could smell noxious, but carbon monoxide, which causes death is odorless. The most common cause of noxious smells in offices comes from whatever people spray on themselves, such as perfumes or hairsprays, and some of these can offend any ones sense of smell, and cause allergic reactions.

Is farting at the office bad??? \n\nI thought it was mandatory! \n\nHow else can you express your innermost feelings?

As a supervisor at 2 different companies, I have had to explain to an employee that they had an odor problem.  As horrible and embarrassing as it was for me, it was even more so for them.  But the truth is if it were you, wouldn't you want to know?  Actually in both instances it had to do with their behaviors.  One guy used a cologne that had a BO like smell, the other worked out before he showed up to work without showering.  Simple fixes and everyone was happy in the end.

i don't know, i've never been in this situation.  my boss and i frequently have farting contests because we are both so gassy.  i walk into his large office and rip a nice one and let it hang there for a while, at least until i can smell it, then i just leave.  then he saunters into my cube and rips a nice one, let's it linger, and then just leaves.  i'm not sure what the score of our battle is, but i've got to be beating him.  his toots come out little and whimpy, and although mine pass through my sphincter somewhat wet, they are always large and billowy.

It is unfortunate your HR person could not tell her there had been complaints.  This is a 3rd party that is not involved in the situation.  If you have had others complain.  It really is her responsibility.  You will just have to tell her.  Be gentle.  Maybe start out with that the office is small and enclosed and there has been a personal body odor brought up when others walk into the room.  Request each person to consider their hygiene.  Talk about daily showers being a courtesy in such a small space...make it a group issue vs an individual one...if it doesn't work, you will have to take her aside and explain others have commented and she needs to take better care in her cleanliness.  If it is a medical reason, can it be accommodated?  We had a lady that smoked and smelled awful.  She admitted to smoking, with the windows of her car shut, all the way to work!  She was told to change it or get moved out to the warehouse!  We have 10 people in a small space and we aren't allowed to burn candles, wear perfume, oils, or lotions...

I try to put myself in the other's shoes in regard to if I had to hear this news, who would I prefer to hear it from?\n\nThe answer is clear.  I would much rather get it from my office mate than be embarassed in front of my boss as a new employee.  I would also respect the person for being straight with me and not whimping out by telling the boss.  After all how hard is it to figure out where the complaint might have come from?  After talking to the boss, the guy is libel to come back and ask, "Do you think I smell?"  Then what do you say?\n\nTell him politely as possible over lunch one day.  He will be grateful to you.

Type up all the dirt you have on her and leave it on her desk... don't put a name on it .... just a little add on note at the bottom saying if she doesn't stop spreading rumors this will be sent to management .... \nMay just make her stop all her "tattling" everyone will be better off\nGood Luck :)\nPersonally I'd confront her asking what the problem is ... then if needs be go to management with the same questions .\nThen theres always "Dial-a-Goon" to take care of those pesky office co-workers ...lol

I feel so sorry for you, a couple of years ago I had the same problem with a temp. that they hired here at the office, he was sitting in front of me and the fan was in front of him blowing the smell to me and to make matters worse I WAS PREGNANT.\n\nI used to spray perfume in my hands and smell it.\n\nI wouldn't have the nerves to tell anyone that they smell. \n\nGood luck!!
