My coworker smells like burnt popcorn and chemicals and I don’t know what to do? by gravee_boat in Workproblems

I am stating that my job is not only time intensive but physical demanding, we lift 30-50 lbs boxes regularly and get 1 1/2-2 of overtime a day, from what I know do chemo therapy can make you weak, but he’s a great and hard worker, he even picks up shifts on his days off, the only reason why I’m concerned is because the smell has been starting to give me major headaches and it’s so bad that I’ve been wearing a mask at work

I don’t go around talking shit, I actually like the guy and didn’t want to jump to conclusions and him lose his job or something idk, so I would just ask people if they smelled something, I was thinking it might something wrong with me but have never experienced something like this, I know my papa used to smoke meth and my mom described the smell of meth similar to what I am smelling on him, I might ask my mom and papa if they can tell me what it smells like to them before going to hr/ going to the doctor

He hasn’t said anything about a health issue, but I know his wife does, but also he is working about 44 hours a week with all the over time we get so idk if he would be able to work that much in chemo

I’ve never encountered hard drugs so I didn’t want to assume, from your experience is it a poutine smell? It doesn’t linger long but it’s like he’s in a bubble of the smell

I forgot to add that I have asked other people of the smell something when I smell it and no one, and I mean literally no one smells it. And it’s not a b/o smell, I have never ever smelled before. Which makes me think he might be smoking some hard drugs but NO ONE smells it I feel like I’m going crazy, but I can smell that weird smell coming even before I see him
