What Causes A Metallic Odour From The Body?

I am concerned about what I describe as a metallic odor that comes from my body. When it happens it affects the scent in my car; it s a smell that s hard to get rid of. Once it s in my clothes, they are almost ruined. I ve learned to wash them in vinegar; but the car seat is hard to get rid of the smell.
