In August I think I would overwhelm those friendly microbes with my sweat. Maybe it’s just a habit but I feel the urge to shower when I’m done working up a sweat outside.
He must have a cheese factory growing in his crotch.
Doesn't smell? Did his nose fall off?
NOBODY ever thinks they stink after they get used to it. A skunk doesn’t think he stinks either.
He’s just getting ready for life under the Green New Deal.
My GF smells really good (all over) after her shower. I won’t show her this article.
That's okay David. From the looks of you, you wouldn't get laid either way.
Huh...
As a swimmer, coach and swim teacher, I’m in chlorine 24/7. I need to clean off.
As an artist, I knew a LOT of earthy crunchy hippy/art freaks — I doubt there’s no odor. But... who knows.
The boils on his body must be fun for him since he does not deal with it.
I’ve been in a few tight places in Europe that almost led me to puke from the B O.
At one time it was considered such a public health hazard Spanish TV ran government-sponsored commercials urging people to use deodorant.
THIS is one way to boycott Proc & Gambler
The taxi drivers in Pakistan don’t shower either, and there’s not enough cologne on the planet to hide that fact.
All part and parcel of the “return to the primitive” of Western Civilization. I can understand that many soaps are too drying. The answer is to find one that isn’t and keep showering. He says he doesn’t smell, but that’s BS. He’s just grown used to his odor, though other people haven’t.
“Whitlock had hoped that he would naturally acquire this type of bacteria simply by stopping washing. He didn’t – and grew quite pongy. So, he harvested bacteria from the soil at a local farm and fed them with ammonia and minerals. When they turned the ammonia into nitrate, he knew he had what he wanted and started narrowing them down to a single strain that seemed happiest on human skin. After he applied the bacteria he had cultured – the stuff the horses were apparently after – he stopped smelling.”
I had to look up ‘pongy’. I thought it was going to mean smelly, but hell who knows with these loons. It’s actually a pretty neat story with the horse bacteria from the farm.

I gather this has been popular in Europe for quite a while?
“I don’t smell”
Apparently not, since you’re oblivious to how badly you stink.
When I was young, I lived on a homestead with no electricity or running water. Baths were accomplished in a (freezing!) stream that traversed the property. In ideal circumstance it would happen once a week. When the elements conspired against the enterprise, it might not occur for two or three weeks.
I noticed horseflies, mosquitoes, and the like lost interest in me in the days leading up to bath day. As soon as I emerged from the stream and for about three days thereafter, they resumed their feasting. Perhaps it’s just me, I found it interesting that even something like human body odor serves a useful purpose.
The Lord wastes nothing.
The NoseBlind always think they don’t stink- and they are usually people who just love things like garlic, sardines, smelly cheese, and loads of liqueur that they sweat out the next day when the sun boils their innards-
I suppose people who eat bland, and don’t sweat easily might be ok for a little while- but my goodness- at least wash up in the morning-
The body resets (for want of a better term)the PH level of the skin after it has been washed. It does not remain altered.
