Im in boarding school and my roommate has really bad b.o. and his dirty clothes smell really bad to the point where I think I will throw up. Can this have a negative effect on my health?
Thanks

Yes. This can have a negative effect on your health. Bacterial action on a person's sweat will release harmful chemicals such as ammonia, hydrogen sulfide, and urea which are all poisonous. Even though these chemicals are present at a very low concentration, they can negatively impact your health if you are exposed to them for extended periods of time. Having to endure bad odors for long periods of time most likely will also increase the level of stress hormones in your body (epinephrine, norepinephrine, cortisol), resulting in elevation in blood pressure and heart rate.
The solution to your problem is simple. Talk to your roommate about it, or bring this to the attention of your resident manager and let him mediate the situation. In the meantime, go get a HEPA filtration system. This will remove most if not all the bad odors.

Not at all. It causes you discomfort and might affect your friendship, but nothing healthwise.
For your friend maybe. If he's not keeping clean.

Well, probably not your physical health, not sure about mental. His physical health could be affected as continual exposure to super loads of bacteria might lead to increased incidents of infection. Think you better find a new roommate.
