Revealed: What the smell of your BODY ODOUR says about you

The pong might have you covering your nose, or reaching for the closest can of deodorant. But if you can bear to sniff it, scientists say the exact aroma can actually divulge a lot about someone. From the unmistakable pong of elevated stress levels, to the stale beer aroma of a tuberculosis infection, your body odour can reveal key clues to your health. And for some 'super-smellers', even complex diseases like early-onset Parkinson's can be detected with a simple sniff.

New study shows promise for better TB treatments, California researchers say

Central to the group's discoveries is the development of a new compound called CMX410. The drug uniquely targets a crucial enzyme in Mycobacterium tuberculosis, the bacterium responsible for tuberculosis, according to a statement from Scripps. With the compound blocking the key enzyme polyketide synthase 13 (Pks13), M. tuberculosis is unable to build a protective cell wall. As a result, it is unable to survive long enough to sustain an infection.
