Origin of the name Elliott: Transferred use of the surname that originated as a diminutive of the Old French Älie, a cognate of the Hebrew Elijah (Jehovah is God). The name received a boost in popularity due to the central character in the popular movie E.T. Var: Eliot, Eliott, Elliott.
The human armpit has a lot to offer bacteria. It's moist, it's warm, and it's usually dark. But when the bacteria show up, they can make a stink. That's because when some kinds of bacteria encounter sweat they produce smelly compounds, transforming the armpit from a neutral oasis to the mothership of body odor. And one group of bacteria is to blame for the stink, researchers say.
Small Amount Of Thioalcohols, The Bacteria Species In Armpits, Makes You Stink. New research better understands how body odor is produced, and possibly the kind of product that can control it in the future. We know bacteria are to blame for body odor; the bacteria on our skin break down sweat molecules and produce a nose-wrinkling smell. Yet the underarm microbiome has remained somewhat of a mystery. Or at least it was prior to the research presented at this yearâs Society for General Microbiologyâs Annual Year in the UK.
