Contagious BB

Post by SC7 »

Ok explain this one to me?

I have BB & BO. Today, someone at school was sitting across from me and started to talk to me, asking me questions. This person had no bad breath whatsoever. Well, I would answer this person's questions and I noticed that she was shying away a little but continued to listen to me. Well about after 5 minutes of explaining something, she talked and her breath started to smell bad. It smelled like fecal, garbage, etc. The way that most people describe my breath. Well I could still smell her "breath" even when her mouth was closed, especially when she took a deep breath, through her nose.

This happens to me QUITE a bit. I think that my BB is contagious. What can it be? Is this bad bacteria in my mouth, sinuses? Does this happen to anyone else.

HI:
Probably what you are smelling is your own breath. I have the same experience, but I know I can pick up my own breath on other people.
when I first meet them I can smell their breath and then I smell my own mixing with it. It's not that I'm infecting the other person, it's just that my breath is so strong it mixes and overwhelms the perception of the other person's breath.
It happens to me all the time, it's your own ability to smell your own breath when mixed with certain odors.
Like if I'm washing dishes in the sink and there is hot steamy water mixed with old meat or food, I suddenly get the smell of my fecal breath mixing in with it.
Alot of times when I get in the shower and the hot steamy water and fragrances of the bathroom mingle and I can smell my breath hanging in the air.
I don't really like to smell my own breath it makes me insecure, because if i really smell like that and I can't handle it, then how are other people supposed to handle it.
Over the many years with this I have gotten used to the varying odors I produce. The other day I was outside, I hadn't eaten, and a breeze blew by me and I could smell open sewer breath.
There are people who say they cannot smell their own breath, and that maybe the better situation. LJ

Hi,
Maybe you are too sensible to the oral odor of peoples, even to that which is defined in the normal range. However bad breath cannot be contagious.

This has happened to me many times and it is not my bad breath I am smelling. I think there may be a subconscious sympathetic reaction in some people that makes their breath express itself as bad temporarily. I have some ideas about how this might work. There is an important psychological component to all pathological conditions and bad breath is no exception.

I think that these people just have bad rbeath sometimes and that is it, I know some people also , I never smell few of my friends ever, but some other people just smell

It is just like it is, they have bad breath also but in lesser degree and not 24/7 like shops and we on this forum :)
