The fish malodor syndrome.
Trimethyaminuria is a metabolic disorder in which an individual is not able to break down trimethylamine, the compound that gives fish their fishy odor, into smaller compounds. Consequently, trimethylamine accumulates in the body and is then released in the person's sweat, urine and breath, giving off a strong fishy odor.

I'm certain a wee girly back in Primary had this. I always thought there was something fishy about her, everytime i gave her a wee sniff at the dinner table she smelt like a whales shit. She was a good looking lass though, shes probably a stunner now, but i'd pay just to give her another wee sniff just to check. It was like she didnt even know :x
I would probably still be able to pull if I had it.
