Does Everyone Have Bo?

Everyone gets body odor. Body odor, called bromhidrosis , is a normal part of being human. It's embarrassing enough, though, that you may want to get rid of it.

Do some people not smell BO?

According to a group of researchers from the University of Bristol in the UK, 2 percent of people (at least in their survey) carry a rare version of the gene ABCC11 that prevents their armpits from producing an offensive odor.

Why do some people have BO and some don t?

There's an even more obvious answer: Some people are just dirty. Other explanations for why human beings smell different from each other include hygiene and health. Consider one's lifestyle. People who are dirtier than others are going to have more bacteria on their bodies -- especially if they don't shower often.
