Today I received the unfortunate news that my mother was called by the school nurse because my body odor was disrupting class. I’d like to preface this by saying that I use Deodarant/Antiperspirant every morning, as well as both before and after gym. I also shower about 4-5 times a week (I don’t really sweat when I don’t workout) However when I do work out I sweat a ton. I thought I did a decent job mitigating it but apparently it was rancid enough for the nurse to actually call home. After doing some research I believe I have bromhydrosis rather than hyperhydrosis because I don’t really sweat when Im not hot, exercising, or nervous. I wish the teacher and/or would’ve told me directly because apparently the nurse doesn’t call home after a single report of bad BO, but I wish I still wish I knew sooner.
TL;DR: I’ve been going to my Calc class after gym every day unaware of how bad I smelled in spite of my deodoran/antiperspirant before and after. Found out today that the nurse called home to inform my mother of my bad BO.
