TURNS out it wasn't a very bad case of tinea.
A guest staying at a hotel in Tibet was initially concerned that the strong smell in his room was related to his own smelly feet - but it turned out to actually be due to a dead body under his bed.
Reports in local media say the incident occurred at a property called the Guzang Shuhua Inn, which is apparently popular for taking selfies.
The guest, known only as Zhang, posted about his stay on Chinese social media network Weibo, saying he checked in last month and noticed a bit of an odour - and after taking a nap and finding the stench had worsened, ended up requesting a room change.
The body was discovered shortly thereafter, apparently, and later in the night hotel staff knocked on the door and asked him to come to the room he had vacated, where police collected DNA and conducted an interview.
However they reassured him that a suspect had already been arrested.
Zhang told Shangyou News, "I am very scared and I am still struggling to sleep", adding that he was frustrated at denials from the hotel that the incident had even occurred.
