Trimethylaminuria, or fish odor, is a disorder in which the body fails to break down trimethylamine, a chemical compound that has a pungent odor. Trimethylamine has been described as smelling like rotting fish, rotting eggs, garbage, or urine. As this compound accumulates in the body, the affected individuals' bodies give off a strong odor in their sweat, urine, and breath. The intensity of the odor may vary over time.
There's no known treatment; you just need to do the following to reduce the symptoms:
Avoiding foods such as egg yolks, legumes, red meats, fish, beans and other foods that contain choline, carnitine, nitrogen, sulfur and lecithin
Taking low doses of antibiotics such as neomycin and metronidazole in order to reduce the amount of bacteria in the gut
Using slightly acidic detergent with a pH between 5.5 and 6.5
