DEAR ABBY: I have a co-worker, "Suzette," who, since last month, has begun to smell like kitty litter every day. Suzette is in her mid-50s. While I consider her a friend, she can be temperamental and tends to fly off the handle and run to HR.
I would like to tell her about the odor in case it is something medical that's undiagnosed. Is there a way to say something that won't embarrass her or get me in trouble with HR? -- DELICATE NOSE
DEAR DELICATE: The way to handle this would be to inform HR and let someone there discuss it with her.
