While many disorders can be seen or even heard, TMAU is noticeable through smell. Depending on the individual's lifestyle and eating behavior, the odors can range from rotting eggs, rotting garbage, rotting fish, urine, fecal matter, dirty feet, vomit, vinegar, strong yeast, or even popcorn. There is no known cure for TMAU, and many people are not aware of such a disorder even exists. They just assume that if a person stinks it is because they are unhygienic, dirty, lazy, and utterly disgusting. Yes, there are people out there that don't practice proper hygiene and cleanliness, so their odor is understandable, but there are thousands of people silently suffering with bad body odor no matter how much they wash, scrub, and spray.
