What is the difference between bad body odour and bad body smell?
British Columbia, Canada
The following excerpt is from Radek v. Henderson Development (Canada) and Securiguard Services (No. 3), 2005 BCHRT 302 (CanLII):
There are many reasons why a person may have what another person perceives to be bad body odour. Some of these may be culturally related. For example, a person who eats certain foods, such as garlic, meat or some spices, may have a body odour which a person who does not eat those foods may find offensive. The choice of the foods one eats is a result of many factors, including one’s cultural heritage: see, for example, Chauhan v. Norkam Seniors Housing Cooperative Association, 2004 BCHRT 262 at para. 126.
