It probably stems from exposure to rotten fish.

It does stem from eating fish, though.

people affected also produce the smell from eating eggs, meat, beans, dairy and bread.

I think that's less to do with a genetic disorder and more to do with the fact that macdonalds food is made of worms.

Seriously, it's made of worms. If peopley can make TVP (textured vegetable protein) look like steak, imagine what they can do with worms.
