disease. This is a strong odor, difficult to disappear from rooms or
small spaces. The smell is actually similar to smell produced by
deer’s body to attract mates.
After
several years of the musky smell, then followed by clinical symptoms
of Parkinson’s diseases such as appearing of “sebum” on skin
and hair.
Sebum
is a “light yellow” substance produce by “sebaceous
glands” to protect skin and hair. Sebum composes of:
-
