I’ve been smelling feet. For days and days, it doesn’t matter if I’m at home or at work or in my car, I smell feet. But it’s not my feet; I’ve been compulsively sniffing my shoes, I even had my husband smell them, and that’s not where it’s coming from. My clothes are clean, I shower daily, I use deodorant, but still I smell feet. I’m tired of smelling feet.
Why do I smell feet?
It’s probably due to a deep, deep psychological trauma that you had as a child that you’ve been repressing. It’s undoubtedly been triggered by your husband shifting position while you sleep and inadvertently sticking his feet in your face as you sleep, and then shifting again before either of you wake, so that you don’t know it’s occurring.
In other words, I got nuthin’. 
About 20 years ago, I had to get a broken nose reset. After the procedure, I had my nose packed with gauze for a week. After the second day, I smelled feet everywhere too. Of course it turns out it that I was just smelling the icky, drippy nose-goo stuck in the gauze in my nose.
So, if I were you I’d check that no one stuck a couple yards of gauze in your nose while you were sleeping.
My mother is a Chinese herbalist and there’s this herb that smells like feet. Probably not what’s causing your problem, though.
Sinus, throat and tooth/jaw infections will sometmes generate funky smells only you can smell. Might want to get a checkup.
Perhaps, during a recent snackfood scarf-fest, you got Doritos[sup]TM[/sup] lodged in your nose. Have you looked?
Limburger cheese-heads!
Brilliant!
Just a tip for getting rid of feet-smell, if you ever track it to a rug or something: get some Nature’s Miracle and use that to liberally douse the area. Works like a charm.
Valerian. (I don’t think it smells like feet, but everyone else does.)
I’ll also bet you have an infection in your nasal or sinus cavities. Time for a trip to the doc for an antifungal or antibiotic.
Or you could neti pot with dilute yogurt or lavender essential oil, but I’m probably the only weirdo around here who’d do something like that.
A pedestrian rant that’s not.
Jeeze lieu, cracking jokes when she’s clearly upset. Have you no sole?
I wondered, for a while, if I was being stalked by Mayor McCheese, but this isn’t a pasteurized processed American cheese food smell; it’s more of an aged Parmesan stored in a sweat sock smell.
A neti pot I don’t have, but I do have an old sports bottle and some lavender EO. That may work. Or it may make me think I’m smelling an old lavender field that’s been trampled by 500 sweaty barefoot Bulgarians. Heck, it’s worth a shot. I like Bulgarians.
I just discovered the source of stinky husband I’ve been complaining about for a few days…it was his new faux-leather binder. Do you have some similar stinky new device?
For me that means an allergie attack is coming
