The body odor of a friend who got out of bed when I was crashing at his house. I wanted to throw up on the spot, it was awful. I'm not sure what it was, but it smelled like he hadn't showered in months but he didn't smell like that the previous day.
He probably hasn't changed his sheets, so the surprising amount of swear you she in bed, along with the considerable amount of dead skin, bacteria, hair, and skin oils are causing seriously bad BO.
There's a reason why I have a waterproof bed protector. Wash the sheets ever week or two weeks, wash the bed protector every couple. Your bed won't smell musty or get bad dust mites that way.
That's what I thought, but they honestly didn't smell bad at all. I remember they were odorless which really threw me for a loop. I wonder if he had some unknown condition or shat himself while asleep or something. But I'll never know because we stopped being friends for other reasons. *sad noises*
Was it like, a body odor smell? Or a different smell?
This was a few years ago so my smell memory is shaky, but I think it was body odor? The thing is he got up so fast and rushed to the bathroom so it may have been something else, or maybe it was from the embarrassment
Meanwhile, I was trying no to make noise while gagging the ha hardest I've ever gagged in my life lol
