I have only ever caught what I believe to be my odor once - and that was this year, after suffering with it for 20 years. :O It was an awful stink and I started panicking because I was at work and knew everyone else around me must be able to smell it. My clothes NEVER smell horrible after I've taken them off... it's like some evil force field of doom that surrounds me but doesn't get absorbed into my clothing. LOL
