Need help? Here are answers to some frequently asked questions!
Isn't this mean?
It depends on how you look at it. Would you rather your friends
didn't tell you that you have BO and just talked about you
behind your back?
Why do I have to register to use this site?
We strongly believe in using email responsibly. To prevent
people sending out hundreds of notifications with no way to track them
or prevent them, we require registration with a valid email address.
Who said I have BO?! Tell me!
YouHaveBO is an anonymous service. We keep that information
private.
Eww, you're hella shady, gurl!
You've just gotten home from a rave, haven't you.
People keep sending me BO notifications, but I really don't stink!
How can I make the notifications stop??
Try using our Address Blocker. Just
enter your email address and we'll send you instructions to complete
the process.
That would work except that everything @mydomain goes to me!
We thought of that too! Try our Domain Blocker. Give us a domain and we'll email the postmaster@ that domain. This
works for site administrators who don't want any email from us sent to
their domains also.
I log in but every time I try to submit a notification, it says I'm
not logged in!

Why do you require independent verification?
Would you want to be notified that you stink without independent verification?
What causes stank BO?
BO is caused by the microorganisms that love to grow in warm, moist
places like your armpits.
How can I get rid of my noxious odor?
Your best bet is to always bathe or shower daily using antibacterial soap and use
a deodorant that contains an antibacterial agent, such as Triclosan or chlorhexidine.
Even doing that, I still reek!
Strong BO can also be caused by other health factors. See your doctor!
