Certain vegetables like onions, garlic and cabbage contain lots of Sulfur, also eggs contain a lot, too. Your body needs Sulfur in your diet; it is essential for the metabolism of many biomolecules. If you eat more than your body needs in a short time, not all will be assimilated. Thus, Sulfur-containing molecules will be released from the body.

Sulfur-containing molecules tend to stink. If you eat a lot of garlic, which contains the chemical diallyl disulfide, your body won't be able to assimilate all the sulfur and, in this case, some of the chemical will be exuded from your skin (in sweat). (Nice, 'cuz it keeps mosquitos away.)

What you are experiencing is the metabolic waste of certain bacteria in your gut. They "eat" the Sulfur-containing molecules that you ingested in your food and release Hydrogen Sulfide (gas) as a waste product. (Can be nice, 'cuz it keeps people away.)

If it goes away after a day or two, it's nothing to worry about. If it's a big problem for you, try to remember what you ate (think stinky) and try to avoid it.

I have been told that it is a virus but it can also be caused by eating spicy foods, i had something spicy from McDonalds and my breathe smelled like rotten eggs and i through up three times shortly after, this was a few months ago but last night i had a bolognaise with some spicy sauce and now, today, my breathe smells like rotten eggs whenever i burp and it seems that i burp a lot more when i get this problem.

Urine that has a smell similar to rotten eggs or a sulfur smell can indicate a urinary tract. Urinary tract infections are treated with antibiotics.

It's either you're taking a harsh antibiotic, have a UTI, dehydrated or a combination of these things. Drink large amounts of water, nothing else, and see if you're problem goes away.

What does smell rotton eggs heat and light have in common?

Not much except they are all sensed by humans through different receptors. The smell of rotten eggs are created by the sulfur-containing compounds released during the decomposition of eggs and are sensed by chemoreceptors in the nose. Heat is a transfer of energy from hot to cold objects and can be done by contact, convection or radiation, but it is invariably sensed by thermoreceptors in the skin. Light's precise nature is a duality of particle (photon) and wave (EM radiation) which cannot be described by conventional means but it is perceived by photoreceptor cells in the eye.
