Youtube : UK lady with TMAU, workmates smell her



A professional UK video production (Barcroft TV).
Only lasts 6 minutes.
UK Lady with diagnosed TMAU.
Her workmates can smell her.
Barcroft TV have done TMAU videos before.

Full TMAU story in Daily Mail

This video was just published on the Barcroft TV youtube channel. My impression was that Barcroft usually did productions for TV and later put them on their youtube, but this one is only 6 minutes long and I have not heard of it on TV. Perhaps it was on TV as part of a mix of health disorders.



Barcroft TV has a history of TMAU stories for TV. Examples :
'Help I smell of fish' documentary. (youtube)
2016 video of young London lady for Channel 5 'health-disorder' programme (click for youtube video)

Barcroft
It seems they have 2.5 million youtube subscribers, so any video on there gets a lot of exposure. Barcroft is a small UK production team originally set up to provide TV channels with programs. Perhaps now they are also specialising in short stories for their youtube channel too.

Comments on this video :

A workmate can smell her.
One workmate says they can smell her. and have had complaints. This is good 'witness' evidence as usually in the videos (or in any platform) no-one reports of smelling them. It shows how for example, a TMAU person may struggle in a workplace. Despite TMAU, she is married and working, though she seems to have picked nightshift to avoid people.

Not aware of  this lady.
I am not aware of this lady on the various TMAU online social hubs (e.g. forums etc). It goes to show that there are more out there we never hear of. Personally I think 'systemic malodor syndrome' could be perhaps 1-4% of any population.

Many thanks for the publicity to the disorder. She joins the TMAU 'Hall of Heroes'.

Update Aug 17 :
Genos is back with it's EXOME test

Note :
Exome/Genome testing may be better option than single gene testing.

See this post : link

Note : Genos Exome Testing.

Exome testing is almost the same price now as single gene testing. Also Genos is consumer friendly, which standard DNA labs are not.

So the blog offer to test solely for FMO3 is almost obsolete, and so no longer offered.


Does Genos fully sequence FMO3 gene ?

At the moment it is not clear, but hoped this will become clear over the next few months

Note : possible 'wild west' way of testing FMO3
Use an ancestry dna site and rummage through the raw data
