   My aunt who's into weird alternative "medicine" and "hygiene" practices has somehow managed to leave a permanent stench in one of the rooms in the house. It was cleaned thoroughly and aired for 2-3 days and the smell is still there. :blobcat-extremejoy:
   
   I think she uses some weird oils or something? I've no idea. Must have soaked into the furniture or something.

     @taylan If she eating garlic?

     B complex creates a weird smell -- it's good for keeping mosquitos and bitey insects at bay, but garlic is the thing that creates the strongest stench IMO.

     @LostInCalifornia I don't think it's something she eats. Probably something she puts on her skin. Weirdly enough I never notice people's garlic-breath, so I don't even remember what that smells like, but I'm pretty sure it's not that.

     @taylan It's not really "garlic breath". The smell comes from the skin if they eat enough of it. Smells basically like garbage.

     Had a neightbor who was eating whole cloves because it was supposed to be good for longevity. Believe me, she stunk.

     @LostInCalifornia Huh, that's interesting. Never thought food could make someone's skin smell.
