Do people smell bad to you?

Part of why I got an assessment was to access helpful adjustments at work, because I'm very sensitive to both sound and smell.

Currently the two people that sit next to me at work smell awful, and it's really inhibiting my working ability. They're also loud (talking, tea-slurping, apple eating, etc), but I can cover that by wearing headphones. The smell I cannot. I'm sure the guy on my left doesn't wash his clothes, and the guy to my right has terrible breath.

Does anyone else have this issue? Its' driving me mad, and my work cannot offer me a better place to sit.

    Yes. I use smell uncommonly often. As if that is what it is for, detecting people who smoke, or smoke Cannabis, or are sweaty, or have not bathed in 32.5 Hours, or have just drunk something really sugary, or they have Influenza,

    I freak my partner out because I know when he is ill or coming down with something because his smell changes.  I can smell when someone has a sore throat or throat infection from a  good distance.  The benefit of this is you can learn who to avoid or keep your distance to try and minimise your risk of catching something.
