Last night after a game of Ultimate Frisbee, Ryan came home and showered. After the shower he came out of the bathroom saying that he smelled bad. Then he approached me and boy did he SMELL! I could smell him three feet away and he hadn’t even toweled off yet. It was THE MOST ROTTEN ONION SMELL EVER!! The man was squeaky clean and he smelled. I almost booted him from the bedroom. Strangely, the smell came only from his left side and BY MORNING IT WAS GONE without Ryan taking a shower.
Ryan and I go through periods where only our right side has normal body odor and requires showering to get rid of the odor. Our Oriental medicine doc says that right side odor is probably caused by our livers detoxing something. I asked him about this strange onion smell coming out of Ryan’s left side and he said he had no idea.
The body sure is strange, eh?
Thoughts, anyone?
My guess would be "accidentally squished smelly bug" - I don't know their names, but there are several with very strong smells. If you bump into them in flight or squish them, they release the smell on you and then it stays till it decomposes.

Plausible, but I don't think so. The smell was strongly from his underarm and it reappeared today when working out.
Thanks for the idea, though!
