Stinky sneezes?

Every now and then when I sneeze, a putrid smell lingers in the air for about a minute afterwards.  It doesn't happen all the time, and there is no obvious pattern as to when it does happen.  Even with the mintiest of breath, the stinky sneeze can easily make me gag.  The smell is a mash up of death and saliva on a hot iron.

I have done a little bit of Googling on the issue, and it seems that there are a few other people suffering from this (Links: here, here, here and here...).  On the first link, a seasoned nurse has never heard of such an issue.  Some speculate that it is a kind of chronic infection.  I haven't been to my GP about it yet, but I will be sure to update with the happenings.

One thing I can say though is that when I saw that other people are afflicted with the death sneeze from someone's anus, I felt a lot better about it.  So here is me, adding my name to the list of (hopefully) many who suffer from SSS (stinky sneeze syndrome).

Omg Jan it's not just meim woundering if by any chance you work at a pet feed store were they sale bully sticksif you dont i will fill you in on what a bully stick is. They are dried out bull pp's. They smell just as these nasty sneezes do.  putrid and dogs love them. This just started to happen to me about a month ago. I thought it was from breathing the air in around these nasty smelling things. Please get back at me if you have found out why this is happening to us.

Hello there,

Unfortunately I do not work in a Pet store, and don't hang around anything particularly stinky to cause my smell :( I am gonna go the doctors with it at some point tho.... :)

Cheers

Jan

Both me and my father suffer from (SSS). I have no idea what causes them, but they smell horrible!
