Night sweats ONION SCENT

[lacroixx1]

My wife has noted that my night sweats come with a strong onion scent in the air while I sleep ..I detected it on my clothes if I work and get a lather going I have smelled it also this is a new one on me I shower 2 times a day and am embarrassed by the New aroma I hope My co workers are not offended But I am clean and do not even eat onions LOL does this ring any ones recollections ? I use deodorant NOT anti perspirant Maybe have to go with Ax Body spray to keep from being assigned a work space All by myself ?

According to "How Stuff Works" foods other than onions can produce that scent from the same chemical process. Fermented cheese and cruciferous onions, alcohol to name a few non onion sources. Onions have sulfur compounds as do cabbage and broccoli.

I have the exact same issue. When I awaken, my sheets are soaking wet and it smells like onions. I also do not eat onions.
