Cadmium: The direct exposure to high levels of cadmium is hazardous to the health. [5] More specifically, the lungs directly absorb cadmium into the bloodstream. [9] When humans are exposed to cadmium over a long period of time, kidney disease and lung disease can occur. [5] [9] In addition, cadmium exposure can be associated with hypertension. [5]

Smell as evidence of disease has been long used, dating back to Hippocrates around 400 years BCE. [1] It is still employed with a focus on volatile organic compounds (VOCs) found in body odor. [ 2 ] VOCs are carbon-based molecular groups having a low molecular weight, secreted during cells' metabolic processes. [ 3 ]
Smell events are often sporadic and episodic in nature (based on diet over the previous 24 hours), making it often difficult to diagnose by smell alone. Some people with trimethylaminuria report having a strong odor all the time, but there has not been any evidence apart from self reported symptoms that this is the case. [citation needed]
