Experts share eight reasons your perspiration might seem extra pungent—some of which you can influence. You might already know that your body hosts a bustling ecosystem of bacteria that’s both a sign of, and a player in, your overall health. Just like Harvard Health says your digestive system houses an astounding 100 trillion beneficial and harmful bacteria, similarly, your skin is home to about 1,000 species of bacteria.
