Sweat "garlic" odor

This might be a strange question but I have noticed that my sweat has a slight "garlic" odor.
I don't actually eat onion or garlic so I was wondering if there could be an underyling somethingelse that could make my sweat smell lightly of garlic.
It's not a pungent smell, just a slight garlicy odor.
Anybody has experience this or has any idea what it could be caused by?
 
Could you get someone else to check if they also pick up on the garlicky odor?
That way you could isolate it as an eccrine or olofactory issue.
I'm sorry I can't help more- good luck with it!

Some people find some meds can cause strange smelling perspiration, and also stress can do something similar. Weird, isn't it?

I hope you can get to the bottom of it..
