t_coffee: yes the oil they use may be the cause, but also the specific spices used also affect it...that's why not only indians smell at times. For example, any person who would eat alot of garlic or something like that alot would smell bad when he/she sweats, regardless of nationality.

Stealth: I don't understand why u were so aggressive. If u read my post I did mention that they were in the sun all day so i KNOW what that work conditions are harsh for them. Noone said they're expected to smell like perfume and look all pretty and neat, their job doesn't allow it.

Guys, just forget this thread and move on...
