Truth be told, the whole Jurgen smelling bad...I doubt that is because of him being a Blank and more because he probably doesn't really mind his hygiene. It's a very long step from an "Aura of discomfort" to "smells bad"

As for the "Normal people find them strange" False. On several times, it is proven that a Blank is not found meerly as strange but as outright disgusting and wrong in normal people. Psykers don't feel bad, they feel agony, it hurts them to be within a kilometre of a blank, even more with a Pariah, which is why the Thousand Sons had such problems during the Council of Nikea since they were in close proximity to the Sisters of Silence. How the Emperor and Malcador overcomes this I have no idea.
