Dos (2) cosas: 1) Pie de atleta (Athlete's foot) o pies sucios y 2) mofeta (skunk). No good. In Mexico do they say "zorrillo" for skunk?

Creo que el mal aliento puede ser un problema dental pero también la gente que fuma tiene mal aliento. Por eso hay que tener mentas y chicles en la bolsa jaja.

Question: Would this be a good lesson to put in a subtitle ? Like perhaps..."Mal Aliento" ?

It sounds as if she is using a "G" sound when saying "Huele".  What accent is this? I have learned the "H" is silent.
