How far does your breath's smell reach?

My BB is caused by bacterial imbalance, and it can be smelled like 14 to 20 steps away especially when I'm hungry or have dry mouth. It even goes out of our house and into the street, so I counted the number of steps. How do I know? The loud comments. My BB smells like morning BB or stale or rotten something most of the time. I only got to smell it once though after I step out of my door and it is strong, imagine smelling the food being cooked by your neighbor. That strong! So I'm sort of doing a survey if rotten/stale smelling BB is the only type that can be smelled at very far distances, or if other BB smells can be smelled too. I think fecal smells can't go that far, only the rotten ones.

when I taught grade school, the kids in the back of the room could smell it sometimes. My breath smells fecal or like rotten eggs or sewage. getting tested for tmau soon. going to try taking molybdenum this week. I have had this for 24 years.

What is molybdenum? Google doesn't seem to give much info. Is that a pill?
I think the reason why the smell reaches that far is because we continually breathe, so the smell doesn't really subside unlike farts for example, so it gets concentrated and then travels through the air.

My breath has mainly a fecal smell and it can travel a few feet, no super far.

My breath can fill a single decker bus. And this is with my mouth trapped shut the whole journey. This is only on very bad days tough.

Have any of you ever smelled your own breath?

Well, that's actually from me on the other side of the planet

on the odd occassion when i'm speaking it will erupt and fill an area and fly across the room.

I remember one occassion talking and guy was making gestures as if to ask have i shit myself.

then a couple of minutes later a loud shriek from the OTHER END of a big room "JESUS WHO'S FARTED" and they pointed to me, great.

I'm very bad at judging distances, but I think my breath can travel at least the length of two parked cars or more. I cannot smell my breath but I think it smells fecal. A friend of mine at work will occasionally give me a ginger ale and twice he has given me a chocolate candy bar. maybe he thinks I have an upset stomach or need to have a bm. Or maybe I'm just paranoid. I am so damaged from this bb problem that I have a built in defense mechanism, that I make up excuses for people reactions and comments. How many sodas can I drink? I don't want a soda I stopped drinking sodas. I prefer water

@forced2balone

ginger ale?
chocolate candy bar?
soda?

You think people are offering you snacks because of BB? What does offering snacks have anything to do with BB? You're jumping to conclusions. They're being nice people, sharing food is a thing in all cultures since the dawn of time.

If someone has BB, they get offered gum, not junk food.

I remember one time people are saying things in my former office. I think it reach up to 5-6 meters radius. For a long time, elevators are a no-no, I'd go to work during non-peak hours when very few people are using the elevators.
