Topic: Does anyone's feet smell more than usual?

For the past couple of weeks my feet have been very stinky. It's true that it's super hot outside and I'm probably sweating more than usual, but still I think it's weird.

Do you think that being on abx for so long allows the smelly organisms to grow on the feet? That was my biggest guess, and I just wanted to hear some confirmation.

Thanks.

My son's are absolutely horrible. I thought maybe he was detoxing through his feet. He is such a sweater now with POTS and Lyme.

Sometimes in the past though it has been the material his shoes were made of.

We tried wicking socks that runners use.

If your nose runs and your feet smell,

Your nose should smell

I wear sandals and for some reason I feel like my feet stink!?

But when I take them off and sniff them, they smell like sandals should smell.

I can not figure out for the life of me where this 'smelly feet' smell is coming from but it follows me across the state lines and to work.

This is a totally new symptom for me.
I'm treating babesia with BW and parasites with Parastroy, Salt/C

PS.

Bamboo socks help feet not sweat as much, maybe they would help with this problem too.

My dad (non-lymie) for some reason had really really sweaty feet at work. I gave him bamboo socks and he said he really noticed a difference
