What Causes Body Odour Has Been Discovered

Researchers at the University of York have located the major bacterial offenders
when it comes to bodily odour.
Body odour is a very common form of embarrassment for all ages and both sexes,
so, luckily for everybody, a group of scientists have conducted pioneering research
into the science of body odour, a first step towards putting an end to this
unfortunately common embarrassment.
According to independent, researchers at the University of York have made new
genetic discovery regarding the Staphylococcus hominis, pinpointing the bacteria as
the main offender in making armpits pungent by breaking down naturally secreted
sweat molecules.
This genetic study found out that the bacteria inhabit the temperate climates of our
underarm microbiome and that there are more of them in our armpits alone than
there are humans living on the planet.
What actually smells are thioalcholols, an organosulphur compound that the
bacteria produce from ingesting our sweat.
This sounds scary but hopefully these researchers will soon find a solution, now
that they know the cause.
