TMAU sufferers can smell like faeces, urine and more commonly rotting fish because of a faulty enzyme causing a build-up of a volatile chemical, TMA. Disrupted lives needn't be sterile; they can be symphonic, poetic and energetic; like the lives of the folks with TMAU I met in Bethesda. Individuals with TMAU will have higher-than-average levels of TMA and low levels (less than 25 percent) of TMA N-oxide in their urine; individuals without TMAU will have higher levels (greater than 25 percent) of TMA N-oxide and lower levels of TMA in their urine. |
