So, about two weeks ago, I noticed my sweat started smelling super weird—kind of sour? Then it hit me... it smells exactly like raw red onions. I actually had COVID back like four months ago, so I’m starting to think it’s not my sweat that's the problem, but my taste buds that are just totally wonky now. Like, certain foods taste off too—popcorn tastes strange, peppers have this weird flavor, and tomatoes sometimes taste like gasoline. It's just bizarre because this didn't happen during those first few months after I had COVID. Back when I was actually sick, though, my sense of taste and smell were completely gone.

That happened to me too!!! For me, it didn't kick in until about 2 or 3 months after having Corona.

Jesse Williams14 said:Yeah, I had the exact same thought. Especially since, like so many people, I completely lost my sense of taste and smell while recovering from Corona. But then again, I kind of debunked that theory for myself... see, the smell of onions only shows up under one armpit for me. If it were just an issue with my sense of smell being messed up, I'd probably be detecting that same scent under both pits. Sooo, probably not that...

Hey, looks like I'm not the only one dealing with this.

I cleared the Delta variant about four and a half months ago. Then, about a month back, I started noticing this weird onion scent in my sweat, and honestly, the sweat and the onion smell have become pretty much indistinguishable.

I figured it was just my sense of smell acting up again. But how can I ever really know for sure? It feels so awkward to tell someone, "Hey, sniff my armpit. Does it smell like onions to you?" 🤦

I might just mention it to my primary care doctor, and if she's up for it, she can take a whiff 😁...
