5 Diabetic Ketoacidosis diabetic ketoacidosis, a high concentration of ketone bodies is usually accompanied by insulin deficiency, hyperglycemia, and dehydration. Particularly in type 1 diabetics the lack of insulin in the bloodstream prevents glucose absorption, thereby inhibiting the production of oxaloacetate through reduced levels of pyruvate, and can cause unchecked ketone body production (through fatty acid metabolism) potentially leading to dangerous glucose and ketone levels in the blood. Hyperglycemia results in glucose overloading the kidneys and spilling into the urine (transport maximum for glucose is exceeded). Dehydration results following the osmotic movement of water into urine (Osmotic diuresis), exacerbating the acidosis. Ketoacidosis can be smelled on a person's breath. This is due to acetone, a direct by-product of the spontaneous decomposition of acetoacetic acid. It is often described as smelling like fruit or nail polish remover. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ketoacidosis 3 Likes 2 Shares |

3 Typhoid Fever Typhoid fever is a bacterial infection caused by Salmonella Typhi. Its symptoms may vary from from very mild to severe. These symptoms include a gradual onset of high fever, weakness, abdominal pain, constipation, and a rose-colored skin rash. Typhoid is not an extremely common disease in the developed world but is still common in areas with poor sanitation and hygiene. A medical journal article published in 1976 brought attention to the fact that patients with typhoid fever emit a smell that is extremely similar to freshly baked bread. While smelling like a bakery may sound pretty cool, being afflicted with typhoid is actually anything but. https://edition-m.cnn.com/2016/01/20/health/the-smell-of-disease/index.html 2 Likes 2 Shares |

2 Schizophrenia Schizophrenics have difficulty identifying odors, and problems with the sense of smell seem to be linked with the disease. Among high-risk patients, a recent study found, problems with olfaction predicted who was most likely to develop the disorder. The findings suggest that testing a patient’s sense of smell could become a useful method to predict who is most likely to develop the psychiatric disorder. In the 1960s, nurses began commenting on an odd odor emanating from the back of mental hospitals. This prompted researchers to begin searching for the cause of this smell. It wasn’t long until Smith and Sines thought that they had stumbled upon the cause of the scent: schizophrenia. The smell was described as a “skunk-like” odor that remained in patients, especially those with catatonia, despite any amount of bathing http://listverse.com/2018/03/21/top-10-fascinating-diseases-that-you-can-smell/ https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/articles/200310/predicting-schizophrenia-smell%3famp 1 Like 1 Share |

1 Bacterial Infection Bacteria infection tend to emit different smells in humans Pseudomonas for example produces a characteristic blue-green color and is a common infection in those with diabetes, cystic fibrosis, burn patients, or drug users. This can be an extremely dangerous infection if it is not treated quickly, and it frequently wreaks havoc in hospital environments. It is considered an opportunistic bacteria, meaning that most of its infections occur after preexisting diseases or conditions. You may have in had a run-in with Pseudomonas if you have ever suffered from hot tub folliculitis. There are ways to identify Pseudomonas in a laboratory, but one interesting characteristic that it possesses is that it actually produces an identifiable grape-like odor. . coli, a common cause of food poisoning, has been described as having a floral odor. Eikenella corrodens, the bacteria that commonly causes infection following a human bite, smells like bleach. Streptococcus anginosus, a bacteria that can cause abscesses, has a sweet caramel or butterscotch odor. https://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/823921 Listverse Dominique lalasticlala |

You are absolutely correct Op. Our stool and urine says a lot about health and diet. If only we can pay attention so many sickness would've been averted. Animals are using their smelling ability to detect so many things like heat period, presence of prey, recognition and even detection of human sickness by cats. But we humans have useless this ability. We can only use our smelling sense to detect useless things. 11 Likes |
