Cheddar Cheese Body Odour

[barry1010]

My aged relative smells very strongly of cheddar cheese within a few hours of his shower. It is not his breath and even his hair has this odour.
I've checked his scalp and looked in his mouth but everything looks as I would expect to it.
This has been going on for a week or so and it is a real puzzle.
I know some illnesses and diseases can cause unusual smells but I can find nothing online except for women's 'bits'. I know he is clean everywhere because I shower him and the smell is not coming from his genitals.

If I didn't know better I would suspect him of rubbing his head with a family size block of chedddar - I checked and know for certain he has not been at the cheese.

Anyone any experience of this? Any clues?

Jno, you can call me Anne x. Barry when he comes out of the shower and napping put a towel under his head, save the pillow getting damp .
