Interesting, I thought it's just individual perception. Never knew there is actually a chemical compound behind it that affects everyone.

any tips on how to get over this. i live with my mom and she has this smell now.

I think there's probably more going on than that one chemical. For example, if I don't go jogging for a week and then go for a run my shirt later after it dries smells like urine. I looked up why and it's because urea builds up in your skin and is excreted with sweat. Maybe this fact just made me paranoid but I swear that I can smell a urea smell on my skin when I don't exercise regularly.

I imagine elderly people aren't out sweating regularly.
