A member asked:
Can a person have bb & bo from a rupture appendix? (had emerg. surgery for removal) thanks so

Unlikely...: Halitosis (bad breath) and "body odor" may reflect underlying gastrointestinal pathology, but would not be expected to result from an appendix that has already been removed (no matter how diseased it may have been pre-operatively). Check first with your dentist and dermatologist for their respective evaluations and recommendations.

See below: May i clarify : bb & bo means: bad breath and body odor? No. Appendectomy would't give you that, even after ruptured appendix.
