Why is it that none of our family members or significant others can smell our BO? But yet, anywhere else we get the rude comments, stars, sneezes, coughs, gagging, and rubbing of noses.

There seems to be a pattern. What do you think?

1. Stress--Outside of our home, we are stressed and that makes our BO increase.

2. Home Vs. Office/school--At home we are constantly moving and relaxed. The odor doesn't accumulate in one area alone nor does it develop as quickly as in the office. In an office, we tend to stay in the same place for 8 hrs a day and stressed out.

3. The building up of BO in a room is gradual--If we're stuck in the same place for 8 hrs with little ventilation, the odor will gradually increase and fill up the whole room.

4. Talking and exertion--The more we exhale or talk, the quicker the room will begin smelling. Work usually involves talking or physical labor.

5. Food---You have to eat tiny portions of fruits or veggies that don't cause odor. Heaven forbid you eat that chicken or beef at the office luncheon. Why? 1) the office will begin smelling of fecal odor and 2) heaven forbid you feel the need to have a bowel movement during work.

I go to work and don't really smell the odor. But as the day progresses, everyone smells the odor because I'm confined to a room 8 hrs. a day. And, my job requires I talk.

Anyone else experience this?
