Forever Learning Posted June 9, 2013 Posted June 9, 2013 I just noticed this in the past few weeks, that my hands smell faintly of garlic. But I haven't been eating garlic. Is there any other supplement or condition that could be causing this? It's a faint smell, others wouldn't smell it. It's near my knuckles. And no I haven't been touching myself, and my poontang doesn't smell like garlic. I do take tumeric capsules. Could that be it? My armpits don't have this smell.
Author Forever Learning Posted June 9, 2013 Author Posted June 9, 2013 Now I am wondering if it has something to do with petting my cat (my actual cat). Or, the potato chips I was eating. I will have to watch what I'm handling. I was cutting onions on several occasions recently, maybe that was it. Or I have been using Burt's Bees hand cream, and that has an unusual smell to it. I think that might even be it, that hand cream, now that I think of it. Mystery solved!

I sometimes have an allergic reaction to some foods plus I cook with a lot of onions and garlic. Prevents food from getting under my fingernails. You can buy a big box of those gloves at RiteAid or CVS. 1

Author Forever Learning Posted June 10, 2013 Author Posted June 10, 2013 Well, I am sniffing my knuckles right now, and I'm not smelling it. I did remember I've been drinking a large variety of teas, that often have a mix of herbal ingredients. So I won't rule that out either. Also, my boss has hand creams on her desk, and one of them has a musky woodsy smell that I might have mistaken for this garlic smell. Thanks for the input guys. You are all so awesome
