If it's the typical ammonia like smell from bartonella die off, well that's what it is, from the bartonella infeciton. The sweat can kind of smell like cat piss.
For awhile there after bartonella came out of it's dormant phase for me, I was worrying what this smells. I'd get it inside my nose after die off from antibiotics. Also in my sweat...
If that's what it is, Now brand L-Ornithine can help detox the ammonia or even Allergy Research Group's L-Ornithine L-Aspartate.
A lot of lyme patients freak out during this because they think it's their liver failing, as people with livers failing can have ammonia build up, if you have bartonella infeciton, it's not he liver, it's the bacteria itself 100%.. I know because I went through this last year, took me about
7-8 months to fully clear that ammonia smell from my body, I assume it has to do with the bacterial load of bartonella.
You gotta detox, because I think the psyhcosis people get from taking too high of dosage from Disulfiram is too much ammonia in the brain, die off from both bartonella and spriochetes, which results in psychosis. I guess you could say it's similar to Hepatic Encephalopathy, but it's not, because you're liver is in health shape and you just need to push out those toxins from your body.

Anyway ideas? I almost feel like theyre related. Like i'm perspiring a sludge or bacterium that is causing both.
Its so odd, i know it all sounds crazy.
And no this isn't crazy, a lot of lyme patients with bartonella report strange smells on the forum. This was my post from almost a year ago

https://www.healingwell.com/community/default.aspx?f=30&m=3475780As some of the top LLMDs say, treating chronic lyme is like pealing back layers of an onion. As you knock out Babesia, another infection shows itself like bartonella and a whole host of new symptoms can spring up. Babesia and Bartonella aren't the only coinfections either... There's rickettsia, mycoplasma, ehrlichiosis and I assume some of these bacterias also might have weird die off smells...
It's sad that the failing medical system isn't here to explain these things to chronic lyme patients about
what herxheimer reaction is and what smells it can cause...
Just keep pushing through if you're on antibiotics or herbs, and detox, detox, detox... Warm baths can help too,
open up the pores and sweat the toxins out, but don't go too hot, as they can increase the absorption of antibiotics and increase herxing.
