Poo Breath

A guy at work's breath smells like poo... I mean literally. I work in a call centre and avoided sitting by him until he left because it was strong.

I once went on a date with somebody whose breath smelt like poo as well... I wonder if she defecates out of her mouth...

Seriously though, what causes poo breath?

This is a half serious thread... Is it a smell coming up from your gut?

    Bacteria on the back of the tongue.

    I guess its just through not brushing your teeth and, as minimi said, bacteria?

    I know alot of people who's breath smells of fertiliser...

    Mouth wash could help?

    Yeah that would be funny. Get in work early and leave a bottle of mouth wash on his desk and a note, "Please take this, your breath stinks of shit".

    If he doesn't floss, brushing his teeth won't help that much. It may disguise the smell for a short while but will come back.

    Of course, he could be getting poo breath from felching .... :)

    Well nice to see everyone is so sensitive about it!

    I think I get it sometimes but don't know really. Just checked now and I can just smell coffee... but even then I still get sensitive whenever people talk about it :/ it's like acne in a way except in your mouth.
