A warning to cat owners: this ammonia smell used to happen to me after long bike rides, and last year my little feline "friend" climbed in my washer and made it her new territory--at the expense of my biker clothing and the rest of the laundry.

I first noticed the ammonia smell when showering and sometimes I just smell ammonia. I don't exercise, only short walks so that is different than other posts. I will try to increase carbs but I eat for my blood type which is O positive which means I am a meat eater. Plus I am 65 so I have natural aging changes so this might be one. Any answers to why this is happening please post this condition is really kind of scarey.

I’ve had this off and on for years. My liver function tests always looked fine, but I finally got a doctor to do a urine study and I was losing lots of taurine in my urine. It does help to supplement since taurine helps with the ammonia detoxification cycle. The problem can be a genetic metabolism error. When I do have the cat urine smell washing only seems to help temporarily. I found that rubbing a slice of lemon rind on my armpits and across my chest really helps

Excelent clarification in 44 and 135, I had never felt that amonia smell until yerteday when I rode moto enduro for more tha 5 hours with 85 o more heat. After practicing many sports, and 10 years of enduro, I worried because it was knew to me and I hope it has nothing to do with fatyliver.

As living in hot climate and having a kidney disease (ADPKD2), what prevents excess Nitrogen removal by kidneys, I’ve been suffering of bad sweat smell (ammonia). After some researce I finally found help for it. I’m now taking Turmeric-capsules or powder (Curcumin) (2-5 g) with water before any physical activity. It’s really working! Sweating is normal but Ammonia smell is gone

I've had this smell whilst doing aerobics class. I normally go running and this has never happened before. The only difference is I'm currently taking a detox drink which I've had for 2 days. Maybe this is the body getting rid of toxins or something. Also I was prob dehydrated as I hadn't drank much water as I was busy all day at work so only had the detox drink in 2 glasses of water.

I am on a deep detox focusing on the liver and kidneys for heavy metals high in me. I also live in Phoenix where we see A LOT of chemtrails in the sky. I have read they are made of Ammonia and other heavy metal chemicals manipulating the weather / global warming etc..

My sweat has recently started smelling of ammonia (cat urine)and I have also recently increased my exercise and lowered my carbs. I bring an extra shirts with me when I go to seminar / work / school etc. I find the lower carb hurts my workouts, so I need to up the carbs again. I wonder if the lowered carbs is harder on kidneys causing the odor like I've read.

Hello.. This is my experience also, smelling ammonia and after learning in my chem class that caffeine(huge coffee drinker) is made up of hydrogen, carbon, oxygen and NITROGEN i'm more convinced than ever that the smell is the body releasing toxins through sweat, breath, mucous membranes and urine.. Its just part of elimination of waste products and certain elements/ acids/ compounds release a smell i guess!
