Something Is Wrong
Life was amazing for Camilla when she was younger, but as she got older, she noticed that everyone in her life ran away.
She never understood why this was happening and it was making her very sad.
Smart Woman
Camilla was not just stunning beautiful, but she was also very smart.
She got her masters after college and even though all these traits might make her seem like the perfect woman, there was something wrong about her.
Working As A Teacher
Camilla started worrying to why people didn't like being around her when she became a teacher. Kids would always giggle when she entered the classroom and held their nose.
This was more than enough for Camilla to get a hint of what's wrong with her...
Bad Odor
The accomplished woman realized that she has a bad odor. Otherwise, why would no one want to be next to her?
The interesting part is that she couldn't smell the bad odor and this is when she mustered up the courage to ask a friend about her smell. You will be shocked by what the friend had to say.
Rotten Fish
Camilla's friend told her that she smells like rotten fish and that the stench keeps getting worse every day. Camilla couldn't believe what she was hearing and this moved her to tears.
Not just that, but it also made sense why no one wanted to sit next to her during lunch hours.
Are They Whispering?
'Do I smell? Do I smell? Are they saying things? Are they whispering? Are they laughing about me?' she said in an interview with ABC News, who did not disclose her last name.
Luckily, she would later find out what was wrong with her body.
Personal Hygiene Issues
Camilla was at a loss, but she soon learned that it had nothing to do with personal hygiene! This thing slowly ruined her life, and she did not know what to do. Fortunately, she found help in the most unexpected place.
Here's what happened years after she started looking for answers about her condition!
Ruining Her Life
The woman didn't know what to do. She couldn't get close to anyone because of a smell that she couldn't notice.
That's probably because it got gradually stronger over the years and her nose got used to it.
First Job
When thinking about her bad odor Camilla remembered that during first job she was always sent in the paint room where she was all alone.
Her boss would always talk to her from a distance. This is when she realized that she has a serious problem.
Hiding The Bad Smell
Camilla did everything she could to hide the smell through beauty products, perfume, and lotions but nothing seemed to work. Now that she was aware of her bad body odor, this was driving her mad.
She needed to find out what's wrong and googled: 'body odor smells like rotten fish' Keep reading to see what she found.
Googling For Answers
