Smell...not really, but temperatures, yes!
I don't know if it is the heat, or the stress from being too hot, or a combination (most likely), but if I get too hot I have to go to the bathroom EVERY TIME. I've noticed that when I go to the mall, as soon as I get in there it is head straight to the bathroom. Maybe it is a Pavlov's Dog sort of response...I've been hot pretty much every time I go to the mall, so when I get there my body automatically freaks out. My thyroid is high anyway and that doesn't help my body temperature!
I also find that just the stress of wondering where a bathroom is makes me have to go. I find that situation arising in malls and stores. I hate it, but I think that just makes it worse. I find that if I remind myself that I have my fiber tablets, and some Imodium in my purse for emergencies, and that there are always public bathrooms in big stores, I can relax a bit. But I never go to the mall with anyone but my kids and/or husband, they understand.
