Read More »Share on Pinterest After handling coins or other metal objects, you may notice a metallic smell on your fingers and assume that traces of metal are now on your hands. Research suggests it’s more complicated than that. A metallic smell in your sweat or a metallic taste in your mouth also represents an interesting example of body chemistry at work. While these smells or tastes are usually a temporary concern, knowing what may be triggering them may make these episodes a little less mysterious. And for some of these causes, there are ways to change the scent to something a little sweeter than metal and minerals. Read on to learn about the possible causes for metallic smells on your body or breath and what you can do about them. Metallic smell on your fingers or hands If you’ve ever wrapped stacks of coins or rummaged through a change jar or coin collection, you may have noticed that your fingers retained the smell of copper or other metal. The same phenomenon can occur after touching a metal stair railing or other metallic surface. Your first instinct may be to assume that you’re smelling metal that rubbed off onto your hands. However, a 2006 study published in a journal from the German Chemical Society found that the metallic smell is actually a type of body odor that emerges when certain oils in the skin break down after contact with metal objects or metallic chemicals. People with a heightened sense of smell may also pick up a metallic scent from blood on the skin, as blood contains iron and other minerals. Washing your hands with soap and water is often enough to make the metallic smell go away. If that doesn’t do the trick, try scrubbing your hands with a paste made of baking soda and vinegar and then washing them again with soap and water. If you know you’ll be handling coins or other metal objects, wear gloves to keep the metal from activating oils glands in your skin. Metallic-smelling sweat Changes in body odor occur throughout your life. This can be due to hormonal changes, such as puberty, or other factors, including your: environment

For example, your sweat may smell a little more pungent if you’ve recently been eating onions or spicy foods. But if you notice a metallic or ammonia-like smell on your sweat, it may be due to what you’re not eating. When long-distance runners and other athletes notice a metallic odor during or after a workout, it may be because their bodies are burning protein rather than glucose for fuel. When this happens, the body breaks down ammonia into urea, which is excreted in urine. However, ammonia levels can still build up, so the body removes the excess ammonia — which is toxic — through sweat. Depending on the individual, that ammonia-rich perspiration may smell more like ammonia or metal. If you’re on a high-protein, low-carb diet, you may experience this after a strenuous workout. Metallic smelling breath or taste in your mouth If you experience a metallic taste in your mouth or a metallic scent on your breath, it could be due to a wide range of causes. Some of the more common origins include the following. Gum disease Periodontitis (gum disease), as well as gingivitis (a form periodontitis that causes gum inflammation) and an infected tooth all can cause a metallic smell on your breath. Improving your dental hygiene and treating gum disease or any other dental health problem should make the metallic taste disappear. Medications Certain prescription medications can trigger many changes in smell and taste. These include: antibiotics
