Trimethylaminuria. You smell like fish :x

    Trimethylaminuria (TMAU), also known as fish odor syndrome or fish malodor syndrome, is a rare metabolic disorder that causes a defect in the normal production of the enzyme Flavin containing monooxygenase

    When FMO3 is not working correctly or if not enough enzyme is produced, the body loses the ability to properly break down trimethylamine

    Trimethylamine then builds up and is released in the person's sweat, urine, and breath, giving off a strong fishy odor or strong body odor

    Have you ever met anyone with this?! I cant imagine how awkward it would be to meet people and make friends. I suppose its kind of like having red hair.

    Have you ever met someone who reeked?

    If Cheryl Cole had it (or who ever "does it" for you), would you still be able to ball into her? Or would the smell be too much? Mind you im sure there is a sweet hint of "parfum des poissons" from her as it is

    The principal in my primary school used to always stink of fish... wonder if it was because of this

    Cake, and grief counseling, will be available at the conclusion of the test

    Trimethylaminuria
    Not to be confused with Trimethylabia.

    Ah you must be codding me. There's a time and a plaice to carp on about such unfortunate medical conditions. However, it does seem like the kind of condition that a pikey might suffer from. I do expect people to use this thread though to fillet with carpy puns.

    I just think you're trying to bait people into accepting this hook, line and sinker. It's a load of pollocks tbh.

    Hang on. There's someone at the door. I hope they're not too crabby about my puns. Hopefully they'll have sole and like them.

    Sh1t. I think someone took my coat. Looks like I'll have to hang around.

    Why's everyone being so hostile. It's like they want me to be sleeping with the fishes. Looks like I'll have to put my skates on and find a plaice that will welcome me.

    There was a documentary on BBC (or was it channel 4) about it. One woman hasn't had a boyfriend in years and another is married but hides it from her family.

    She would go home on her lunch from work and have a bath. It got to the point wear she was using bleach to mask the smell.

    I think the other person was a young kid diagnosed with it and his mothers attempts to keep it from controlling his life.

    Why are you being so nasty. I feel like Salmon Rushdie when he had a fatwa against him.

    Seriously, have these people never heard of deodorant?

    Or do they have some kinds of deodorant-busting fishiness?

    deodorant wont mask some smells, if you dont wash and think lynx will solve your problems of sweaty balls.. you wont score, unless you are in a Japaneese night club, apparently Japaneese women love sweat* :confused:
