A close friend of mine worked with a woman in an office setting who had such horrible body odor that the entire department (roughly a dozen people) went to HR and insisted they do something about it. HR attempted to "handle" the situation. The woman refused to try and remedy the problem and hired an attorney to represent her against her employer. She used the reasons that she could find no deodorant that didn't irritate her skin to the point of having to seek medical attention. She also claimed all hypo-allergenic soaps also caused irritation and that she was unable to bathe on a regular basis. The other office workers were aware that she refused to wash her hands after trips to the bathroom, yet she returned to the office and handled machinery that was shared by all. She had been given gift baskets at holiday time from co-workers that included soaps, lotions, powder, body splash...all types of products to make one smell nice. She also claimed this had insulted and embarrassed her and used this in her law suit. She won!
