Guest guest Posted January 29, 2006 Report Share Posted January 29, 2006 A question for all the smell specialists: I have been trying to diagnose a friend (he's about 60 yrs old) long-distance who has been suffering with what seems to be either osteoarthritis or perhaps rheumatoid arthristis or Lyme disease. He's had all the test and they are inconclusive. In the dialogue via e-mail he mentioned to me that his body now has an unusual smell to him. He described it as smelling like acetylene gas (he used to be a scultptor) or perhaps the smell of wet hay. I was thinking of it just as 'damp', but does this sound more specific to any of you? Would this be a putrid smell? thanks in advance, RoseAnne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
