having good hygene is a mammal thing
I work with homeless, including "feral" homeless, and yes, they stink. Some haven't changed their clothes in years by the time they come to me. Even after they shower and their clothes are washed, they still stink. It is amazing how many different kinds of stink come off of these people. Everything from strong musk to open-intestine-dead animal stink. Believe me, you do NOT want to give up on bathing regularly if at all possible.
How the fuck can they still smell even if they shower?
You start stinking, then your room starts stinking, then your life starts stinking too.
so if everyone stopped bathing everyone would be nose blind therefore we won't smell... perfect solution to saving California water
looool
Shut up and go shower

People have gone absolutely nuts on the hygiene issue. Hair does not need to be washed every day. Once or twice a week will more than suffice. Unless you are a manual laborer, you do not need to shower every day. You need to shower when you need a shower. A quick daily wash up of your upper body and crotch area is nice and a shower two or three times a week should suffice for most people.
TheBayley93
There is zero heath reason to wash every day unless you do some kind of work where you are exposed to a lot of bacteria such as in fecal matter if you are working on a farm or if you contact a lot of strangers in your work. You already have a certain amount of immunity to the environment you are in on a steady basis. C'mon don't be so compulsive. Actually, truth be told, I think most people with common sense agree with me. Wash when you are dirty or have been exposed to a lot of new sources of bacteria and viruses.
And, BTW. a normally healthy human body is no more nasty than is the body of a cat or any other animal unless it has been washed, deodorized, perfumed and primped. Since you seem to think without those measures, humans are nasty. You must think the majority of all humans are nasty since they either can't, due to circumstances, or won't do as you do. How sad to view humanity that way.
There are 6 thumbs up, now.
There...Now, you have the permission your mother apparently never gave you.
Eh don't listen to them. I agree with you. Everyone is different. Just like how some people drink more water than others. I myself shower when I need to. Which happens to be about once every other day.
+SSanf Well you won't stink if you don't shower every single day but there's still an odor
+TheBayley93 Showering every day is unhealthy.

I think it may be too harsh on some people's skin. That's why they have to replace their natural skin oil with lotions and such. Otherwise, they itch a lot.
Last year I was living in an apartment, and we got mold on our bathroom ceiling. It was that really dangerous black mold and was hard to breathe through. So basically, I couldn't shower. I still washed my armpits and shit. But I couldn't wash my face or hair. After a week my hair had no oil and my face was in better condition than it ever had been when I washed it. Some things really don't need hardcore washing.
by "and shit" I meant the areas that NEEDED washing. before anyone takes that literal.
*****
No... because the mold was coming from a leak above my apartment. Plus it wasn't my job, and the apartment manager wouldn't fix it.
He had to gut the whole ceiling. But I see where you're coming from, if it was that easy. Well ok Im short af but it would have gotten cleaned somehow xD
I've had a sever mould issue aswell actually so I know where your coming from. If the mould has gotten into the wall all the scrubbing in the world won't do shit, it's just going to keep coming back anyways.
I consider myself clean, hygenic, I wash daily yada yada but I'm not some over hyped clean freak. I get sick less than anybody I know and my skin is pretty much perfect compared to some people I know that go over the top.
Anybody that say's putting weird ass chemicals on your skin - (Chemicals that the majority of the population consider safe without even checking....) - are probably atleast partially damaged in the mental faculty department.
It's like living in a hospitals isolation room from the day your born and then emerging into the world when your 18. NO IMMUNE SYSTEM.
Cleaning dirt is one thing, turning yourself into a PH neutral with no bodily defence is something else entierly.
One more thing, Acne (spots in general) are caused by oil and blocked out pores, such as the oil that is produced by the body for the skin and hair, knowing your skin and hair is perfect even though theres been a a lack of soap should tell you some of the qualities of certain "self cleaning" products.
Dean F
If I wash my face with 99% of cleaning products within 30 minutes there's so much oil it leaks into my eyes and burns them. Then eventually my skin gets extremely rough and hard.
I exfoliate with one face product when there's some serious build up, but other than that I just wash with a wash cloth and water. Still haven't found what truly works for me, but it isn't face wash anymore.
That's a big part of the chemical reactions happening within the pores, the skin then dries out because it's trying to counter act the chemical changes and that's why it gets rough and hard. Also if you have any allregies to any of the chemicals within the products themselves you could end up with mild chemical burns, leaving your skin dry, rough and painful.
Water and a towel does it for my face alright, I use a slightly acidic shower soap and a pretty basic hair product and I'm clean and healthy.
This whole "Beauty Regime" Is just another thing that is pushed so you dip into your pocket for the papers, much like a lot of other crap we buy in our apparantly modern society
I watched this video before NOT showering.
Joel Garcia musty ass
Josh Soto It was just a joke, you can have several seats 💺 now.
Joel Garcia same af fam
If I shower every day I break out in a painful rash, my hair falls out in clumps, and my eyes burn. I'm allergic to the chemicals my city "treats" the water with here. So makeup wipes, essential oils, and dry shampoo are my best friends.
rawrberrys that's rough
rawrberrys And that's why I'm so fortunate to live in a super nice area with clean ass spring water from a private Well that we own
You should give rainwater a try when it comes to washing your hair. It is soft water and as long as you don't live next to a busy highway or factory with lots of toxins, you should be fine. Just put a tub outside when it rains and use that.
really? can i ask what are you allergic to specifically. i recently moved to a new town and i've noticed that when ever i shower my skin burns and i get a rash especially on my legs and arms. it also happens when i wash the dishes my hands burn and peel and i have a rash. i thought it was the soap and body wash i was using even though i've been using the same thing for years please tell me more i'm so tired of this
isa remmelzwaal in some places it's illegal to store rainwater. Just don't get caught
Got to the "Hi Gene" joke and will now be leaving.
Don't try so hard dude, it's annoying.
How do you not mention crotch rot? That's the biggest thing I notice when I decide to go without showering for a while.
"A lot of people who don't brush their teeth, according to a study in the _British_ medical journal..."
Shocker.
I stopped showering for 2 weeks, here are the results:
First day, good.
Second day: Good
Third day: good
Fourth day : oh god
Fifth day: make it stop
Sixth day: FUCK
Seventh day: Not so bad.
Eighth day: Good
and so on. My hair, usually soft, started clumping into giant strands and stuck together in a neutral way.
Yeah after awhile you just dont nootice it.
I usually shower on the second day.
I did it for 2 weeks aswell but all the days were good
So in other words, this video's about logiene?
+roy childs No, it's about Gene quitting drugs!!!
oh
+roy childs Eugyne?

hygiene
you can survive without cleaning yourself thing is others around you cant xD
Some people can't last 1 day without stinking others can last up to a week.
riptorn I'm one of those 1 day people :(((
1 day people is usually fat people or dark skin people, week people is usually younger and skinny, and old people smell like a basketball, did I say too much?
riptorn Now that's answering in 1 sentence.
Young hot thin girls don't stink that much or infants, but old fat men yes.

I am not surprised, you even have the medieval banter down, Fash Gordon.
Pretty much everything you've said is spot on. There is a small movement in the United States, where people have given up using soap and bathe once or twice a week, do not wash their hands or hair, and brush their teeth with twigs instead of toothbrushes and toothpaste.
These people, after having gotten over the curve, believe they are fine in about a month or so. They notice their hair has achieved a kind of equilibrium between dryness and oiliness, their bodies do not smell as much, if at all, and their skin seems to clear up. They have taken to the internet to share their stories, claiming triumph over the cultural norms in favor of returning to a state of natural equilibrium.
The problem with this is, there really is not a state of natural equilibrium. These individuals are walking infections. Their bodies have not actually achieved an equilibrium between good and bad bacteria. Most studies find that their bodies are dirtier, they do have a pungent body odor that they seem to have "gotten used to", and their hair isn't actually healthier than someone who washes their hair, but in fact, their hair has settled into an oily state.
Many of the articles individuals post online regarding how much better they feel without soap or shampoo, are not substantiated by science. They're merely anecdotal. It's not only irresponsible to forgo daily hygiene, it's dangerous for yourself and for people around you. Take care of yourself. You'll feel better. You'll look better. Those around you will thank you for your efforts.
I wish I can repost this all over the comment section so all the other dirty pigs would shut the hell up about being dirty is the same thing as being clean
I'm gonna step up here and say that you probably weren't nose-blind. I suffer with depression, and one of my biggest things is being able to keep myself clean. I'm not proud of it (at ALL) but I basically only shower about once a month. And I was talking with my roommate the other day (after I showered) about how every time I do, I freaking REEK afterward. Like, I smell worse the day I've had a shower, while wearing deodorant, than I do two weeks after having showered on a day that I forgot deodorant. And I know it's not that I get used to it, because I literally never have anyone tell me that I stink. I've actually had friends I haven't seen in a while be like, "mm you smell nice" and I'm going "dude. I haven't showered in two weeks." They literally can't tell.
Also it's pronounced "sluffing"
I don't shower everyday either, for other reasons. I don't use normal deodorant also. And I ALWAYS SMELL WORSE the day of or after I showered or bathed.. I use a crystal deodorant and a natural deodorant spray I make with oils like tea tree and mint and lavender and such..
But I have to wash my hands like a maniac.
wow girl u saying something..i had house mate like u,suffering from depression and at first i didnt notice anything,but after like half year i noticed his 200ml shower gel he bought is still almost full and i used maybe like 4-5 big bottles already..so then just out of curiosity i checked how many times he showers and i was surprised when he took shower maybe after 3 weeks and it lasted maybe 1 minute.. but nobody would say that,cos he really doesnt smell or doesnt look dirty but u know i never met this type of guy..so now i know..wish u luck and stay strong..)
No wonder you look like a feminist
Michael Tarantolo,
Fuck outta here with your bullshit.. Why does someone have to "look" like a feminist? Based on a comment? Are you chauvinistic piece of shit? * cough, um I mean pig?*
Michael Tarantolo ?? Because I have facial piercings and dye my hair? I'm actually anti-feminism because it's 100% unnecessary and bullshit in the first world, but um, okay.
Mouth isn't the largest hole... Legit just ask my ex.

whos picking their belly buttons? lol
gross! you disgusting hentai freak
I also eat what I find in my belly button.
Lol you got me there
i forget my belly button exists which is why I never clean it
2013danrazor I have two belly buttons.
I shower once every 7/8 days,dont wear deodorant.... I should get my shit together huh
Nah...I have went like 2 Weeks without showering.
Probably. Everybody I know showers either every evening or every morning. Same for me.
Some people claim it is bad to shower every single day, however I never noticed how.
+SyncF It's supposed to be every 2 or 3 days. Everyday is bad for your skin, but nothing life threatening.
Depends. Deodorant is bad for your health in nearly all cases. To much showering with soap is not good for your skin. As a rule, if you do something often its probably bad ;)
While showering every day without soap would not harm the skin, using most types of deodorants daily is unhealthy.
Sebum is fucking terrible. I'm not even particularily oily but the itching is borderline unbearable after two days without a shower.
Sorry laundromat goers😂🔫
People used to take yearly baths. I cannot imagine how anyone managed to stand next to anyone else much less sleep in the same bed. I'm so grateful for showers, baths, and soap!
I can tell you first hand after not grooming myself except for washing hands and putting on different dirty clothes for about 2 weeks was not fun, the first thing I did when I got my chance was to wash my clothes and then hop in the shower, it felt so good.
Why weren't you able to shower?
Super Snake I went to camp.
I went a week on a camping trip without a shower and my god I felt icky. Like.... Sticky everywhere. It was horrible.
This isn't remotely accurate, an affront to evolutionary biology and misappropriated.
Trace, I love you buddy, your my favorites dnews host. This is biased to the point of scientific inaccuracy. Everybody smells, even if you shower, that's true, but most healthy people that don't shower don't stink significantly. Yes, there are some health conditions that can be alleviated by showering with soap, that doesn't mean you're statistically likely to get one of those conditions if you don't shower. Rinsing your skin if it has dirt on it is good. If you work in a place that needs to be bacteria free such as a hospital, you need to abide that, but we all know that consequences of over use of antibacterials, there just isn't an alternative right now, you can't be getting bacteria in an open skin.
Equating bacteria and disease, completely disingenuous. You need healthy bacteria to be healthy, you remove healthy bacteria, you're less healthy. It is NOT healthier to perpetually strip away the bacteria and food sources for that bacteria and the protective layer of sebum that a million years of evolution designed to protect our skin, that doesn't make sense. I understand that culturally we think it's gross, like eating bugs, it's a hard stereotype to break, doesn't make it true. Your skin will develop a natural pH and oil balance, with only a mild smell. Of could starting bacterial cultures, diet, climate, health, will affect how long it takes to make this balance, and you can artificially help it along since you artificially broke it.
Sweat isn't odorless, it contains sufficient lactic acid and urea to be fragrant on its own.
The importance of bacteria is obvious from an evolutionary perspective, why do you think the anus and vagina are located so close together, especially when most people poop while giving birth? Was that an accident? A flaw of evolution? It's the same for nearly every mammal! No, it's supposed to be that way. Babies are supposed to be populated with bacteria when they are born. An unbiased look at the science would have found the benefits pretty clear, but a basic thought experiment on evolutionary biology is usually all anyone needs to get a grasp on the matter.
Not to say there aren't cases where some soap and water aren't better, and people also evolved around water, a regular rinse in warm water is good, but so is a healthy, undisturbed balance of bacteria. So says evolutionary biology, the design of the human body, and science. No need to fear monger people into adding to Unilevers profits.
+shadfurman "This isn't remotely accurate" in-fucking-deed
thank you for saying what had to be said. being too clean can he bad for you. it can also weaken your immune system. the human body has evolved it's own defences to many of these issues.
The comment about the laundry has traumatized me. :(
Yep
brb bleaching the washing machine
Well too much hygiene can be bad too. Your body wouldn't get used to different bacteria so once u get exposed to them your immune system won't be strong enough to fight it.
Do a series on the Future!
😂😂😂 bru
+xUltimatexInstinctx yo dawg!!
I heard you liked the future.
so we gonna film a series, in the future.
About the future.
and gonna hook it up for you, in the future.
Protect yo cheeks 😩😤b4 I collect yo cheeks 💯👌🏾
why
Overpopulation draining all resources, robots becoming smarter than and therefore surpassing humans, Islam dominating the earth. Yeah, it'll be something like that.
Sure, you are giving opportunity to bacterias to thrive if you give up on hygiene, but you are also giving your system a workout to protect you from these bacterias. You should clean yourself but shower twice everyday with lot of soap and shampoo is overkill.
Gaurav Jaiswal Tokyo ghoul tuff asf
I give up on hygiene at the weekends if I don't need to go anywhere. Well except teeth, that's disgusting.
I take two showers a day, One in the Morning and one in the Evening Makes me feel better
Hello! I'm pretty new to this channel, so I don't really know if you've discussed this topic already, but how about a series about food, particularly aged food, acquired taste, food we grow up with vs food we are not used to, and why certain foods trend based on human psychology.
And I just wiped my screen and phone off just now 😂
If i don't shower, my sweat under my arms builds up like a gel. after a day, it starts to eat away my skin. after 2 days i start to bleed. as it eats away all my skin layers. My eyes start to burn from the sweat after a day without showering and are in agony if i go longer.
you may want to have that checked out.
I'm pretty sure it's this chair. It's made in china and smells of glue or paint fumes. It's one of those things you get used to over time and just accept. My whole body smells like it, the shower helps. I'll switch chairs.
Just remember to not be /too/ hygienic. Build up your immune system/don't help bacteria evolve.
Lmao loved this one keep em topics coming Testtube x;D
+celestinejo Will do! :D
+DNews Plus Talking about door knobs and the office coffee machine becoming a problem due to your lack of bathing is ludicrous at best because those things are probably already as full with bacteria and dirty as they can because even if everyone in the office bathed and bashed their teeth everyday they are still dirty fuckers that could be tying their shoes and then get up and use the coffee machine, not to mention that any hand washing they do goes out of the window every time they touch their phone that they have touched with dirty hands million times and even put in every dirty place you can imagine including the floor.
People are just dirty really so such things they touch everyday will always be dirty no matter how much they bath.
+Anon ymous Exactly! Just because you don't bathe does not make you more infectious than other people. It does not make your fingers dangerous to other people. You just have more of the same bacteria that we all have.
you are a danger noy bathing gets viruses and then you spread them like really are you stupid or something
not*
You become a hippie.
Shower basically rubs off the dirt and sweat from the top layer but also pushes dirt into the skin from all the rubbing and scrubbing, saunas are the best because they pull out the dirt from your pores
+vShoTzZ25 The added heat and moisture in saunas actually helps bacteria to multiply faster.
Podoconiosis is a type of elephantiasis (leg swelling) found in subsistence farming communities in the tropics. It is an unusual disease, triggered not by any bacterium, virus or parasite, but by an abnormal reaction to irritant mineral particles found in soils of volcanic origins. So it's pretty rare and not really something to worry about. As for the washing machine harboring bacteria, that is certainly true, which is why you should leave the lid up for at least 24 hours before washing another load, or add 1/8 cup of bleach (one fluid ounce) to the wash water and mix it in well before adding the next load of clothes.
ew thanks for the lesson on the laundry. Could have gone my whole life not knowing that lmao
well most washers where i come from have this " hot wash " mode, with very high temperatures, where i doubt many bacteria survive...
Obviously. STill. Gross lmao
When it comes to germs and bacteria ignorance is bliss. I couldn´t care less and I have experienced no bad effects, in fact I am never sick. I do shower pretty much every day though.
When you take the wash and put it in the dryer, the heat will kill most of the bacteria because of the relatively high temperatures
when the video started the ad was for a hygene product lol
Brb, gotta shower and brush my teeth again.
I like the statement "All humans are gross". You sure said it. Good video man, I enjoyed it. I've ALWAYS stressed the importance of hygiene and to be honest, I don't like to be around people with poor hygiene for every reason under the sun. It's just plain unpleasant and there's rarely a legitimate excuse for it. In most places in today's world, there's no excuse at all.
Human beings are actually creatures best described as "anti-fragile." We require the strain of gravity to give our bones strength and the onslaught of microscopic invaders to hone our immune systems. You adapt to your environment. Children not exposed to sufficiently diverse colonies of bacteria develop issues later in life. Since you cite no studies here I shall assert my rebuttal in kind. Feel free to read the science for yourself at Nature.com. ;)
I wish I was raised by leapords when I was a kid. then went back to society. My body would be so adapted to the natural environment. and plus I would build my social skills. it would be amazing
I'm nearly certain you are just joking. However, on the off chance you are not, I offer you this... If you managed to avoid disease or becoming prey- as is common for leopards in the wild- you would certainly obtain protection from the bacterial colonies present in that society. As I'm sure you are aware, human biofilms and microbial environments are quite different than other creatures in other locales. Thus, you would still be susceptible to pathogens that your immune system has not encountered before- not to mention your greatly reduced life expectancy from not having proper nutrition and medical care for all of your years prior to integration with your native species.
4N1MU5 just let me have my moment dude. y u gotta be a buzzkill
I wash my hands AT LEAST 10 times a day. Lol.
But...why?
maxdrags3 I picked it up when I was younger. I don't know why. It's a form of OCD apparently.
+Creed Same problem here. However I am at school most of time and unable to do it.
I'm exactly the same, and I use pure Dettol instead of handwash which I know can actually be bad, but like you it's an OCD thing!
Creed That's probably bad for your hands...
POLL: after a shower, before going to bed....thump up if you apply antiperspirant so funky smell doesn't develop overnight in armpits....or thumb down if you don't apply antiperspirant to give your armpits a break, let them air out.
Ironing your clothes with as hot an iron as possible will kill any bacteria that is still on your clothes after washing. Also wash your clothes in the hottest water possible if you have to use the laundromat. It is really weird but all rental apartments in Britain, Europe and even in Eastern Europe provide a private washing machine in the kitchen for the tenant but in the United States and Canada, most rental apartment buildings just provide a laundry room in the basement that all the tenants share (unless you are renting a condominium in which case you would have your own washer and dryer in your kitchen).
do a series on why i don't have friends
and yes, i do brush my teeth
I was out shopping a while back and came across this family that gave up on hygiene a long time ago. The worst part being that I could smell them long before I saw them, when they crossed my path. So disgusting.
A family, like parents and kids....no offence to anyone but are you sure they weren't homeless?....
***** No, they were just nasty and didn't care. I've seen homeless people that took better care of themselves than these people. I'm not superficial or go around judging everybody, but these people reeked so bad of BO. They didn't have any young children. They were all pretty much full grown.
+ToMMy BoY oh I understand
You messed me up for our laundry. Now I'm going to have to buy new clothes everyday because of this report... Thanks
Yeah, our whole building washes their clothes in the same machine, nice, let's share some bacteria all around!
Scabies has nothing to do with hygiene, that is an old theory. It thrives in warmer climates and mainly transmits through longer sessions of skin contact(Sex, handshakes and so forth). You can also in rare cases catch it from furniture, such as beds and chairs.
Who else didnt go watch the other videos? ✋
I haven't shit in 14 days I'm going for a record here
when your constipated af
you lose when you start vomiting up shit
TheLuckyGuy I won a hot dog eating contest. Constipated.
"Social status will be based on whether or not your super awkward." Yeeeeep that's me ;-;
As far as oral hygiene is concerned, I went MONTHS without brushing and it resulted in numerous cavities, intense tooth pain and teeth so rotted away they had to be surgically removed.
I guess my immune system is insanely strong. I havent brushed my in... well about 4 months. Not a problem. I drink tons of water though.
+Colin Donovan That's because of your diet, not the fact that you stopped brushing.
***** I hated the way it made my food and drink taste
ew! your breath must stink like rotten egg
That was in the past. I'm spending a whole load of money to fix them
Not eating sugars would change the bacteria in your mouth to acid producing bacteria, brushing wouldn't be so important, fossils of humans before agriculture show they had much much better teeth than us, it may have been their low sugar diet
While this certainly has its merits, we have blown our phobia of anything yucky far out of proportion in the "civilised" world. We are at a point now where many won't touch a surface that was touched by others. (Funnily enough, that doesn't stretch to things touched by hands, which certainly are the dirtiest parts of our body overall.)
We have become a bunch of freaking neurotics.
fun fact: in japan deodorant is far less common (idk about other sian countries), not because people sweat any less, but because of neutral smelling skin bacteria. it's possible to transplant those with sinple and mildly gross methods to westerners, so they dont stink anymore.
I'm pretty sure most places don't have deodorant or the people don't wear deodorant. It's like that in Nigeria and nobody smells. It's a western thing.
It's the first time I read about that. I'm in shock. If I don't wear antiperspirant-deodorant I let my shirts all wet and I start smelling like onion.
how?
in short: shave your pits and groin, wash them with desinfecting soap, daily at first, use an antitranspirant .. and, if that's an option, wear t-shirts worn by a neutral smelling person over night. that's really all there is to it.
So full of information!
Bleach! BLEACH all the things NOW!!!
NO! Use Windex!
+The Terrarian use both just in case
lol XD
I use holy water, aka alcohol!
jeremifrancisco1 Wait? I thought you had to boil the hell out of water to make holy water....
Then how did humans survive 25000 years ago when there was no hygiene and certainly no tooth brushes?
+Gregory7222 Something about humans doesn't make sense. why do they need to be hygienic when all other animals on this planet don't.
Agreed
+Gregory7222 Only their average life expectancy. Those who survived the first three decades or so would live about as long as we do now. Or so many anthropologists have theorized.
Humans are a hybrid species that is not optimally designed for living on earth.
+Adnan Butt lol
Trace, I really applaud your efforts at an inclusive, non-judgemental, and holistic approach to speaking about these scientific topics.
i caught scabies once at a nursing home i was in. this other nursing home was shut down until it was cleaned due to bed bugs, c dif, e coli, MRSA, and scabies. their residents were shipped to other facilities, one of which was mine. the aides were not told which of the new people they needed to "suit up" for (hair bonnet, goggles, gown, gloves of course, booties) and make damn sure they followed the normal proper protocol when going from patient to patient. nope, none of it was done. i was the difficult patient because i insisted on hand washing with soap before they touched me, sometimes while they worked on me, and after. wore that lab coat and drug it over 10 other people? ditch it. turn your back to, reach over, or not properlly set up your sterile field? it's not sterile now. and yes, i'm watching how you dawn the gloves. i nearly died from c dif, 3 times from e coli, 3 times from MRSA, 1 from VRE, 3 times having a uti that went septic and the admin wouldn't ok calling the squad until the magic word lawyer was said. the ed doc said 5 more hours and no one could have helped me. all in hospital or nursing homes (mostly nursing homes) where proper protocol wasn't followed. the scabies were transfered from a resident to me via an aide. thats how i discovered no one had even been treated, not even infected staff! when i caught scabies, they let the aides handle it. no changing the bed, cleaning the bed, no using the creme toes up, no shower the next day, no creme again. after getting the aide to read the box and following the directions, we were both scabie free. simply by not following hygienic protocol, every resident and most the aides, caught something avoidable.
"the mouth is the largest hole in our bodies"
right... my mouth...
How come wild animals don't suffer from hygiene?
because we humans are disgusting. And it does happen.
+Khalid alghamdi Preach it brother
WHY DO YOU GET SO MANY THUMBS DOWN!!! Your information is so interesting and important; you're awesome.
Nice, went Philmont too. Best experience of my life so far.
Yup, found a new channel to subscribe to.
Can you do a series on Urbanization?
+Charles Dawson is that a new country? freedom!
I got hit with massive infections and legions in Cambodia when I haven't taken a shower for a month. Now I'm in a big fight with it. I even had large pieces of meat ozzzing out of weep holes that I had to cut off with scissors. Learning my lesson........Thanx
I work as a receptionist in a nursing home. I get worried of even touching a pen after a resident uses it, just being extra cautious and picture that no one washes their hands. Love my job
Bye, Gene.
(Somebody had to.)
Fuck i'm going to have a shower now damn
Lol I did
XTRONIX DUDE lmao you know what i'm gonna have another one later now that you reminded me
I have a friend who rides the city bus more than I do, he worked in a large city hospital laundry for many years, and rarely brushes his teeth but doesn't understand why they are now falling out now and breaking when he eats. He doesn't wash his hands often, even after riding the bus and holding onto the seat in front of him and the metal bars, as well as pulling the cord to alert the driver to stop. This guy is always sick with various things. Though he washes his clothes I'm sure their not always clean. I've known this guy for over 40 years and he's always been like this. He's 65 years old now. He's gotten to the point to where I don't like hanging out with him and his hygiene is one of the reasons. He rarely washes his hands, if ever, after using the bathroom. I've told him to wash hands but he tells me he uses toilet paper so there's no need....ewwww! I don't eat anything he cooks, etc.. if he breaths close to my food or drink I wont eat or drink it because one can almost see the fog of bacteria streaming from his mouth. I'm tired of trying to get him to be clean.
I loled at the "fog of bacteria" bit, but I feel for you. Some people just don't understand how gross they are, and it's unfortunate, because then they think you're the crazy one, and you're overreacting.
>Thinking deodorant is part of hygiene
Should had never told me about the washer bacteria
Giving up on hygiene.
savage
so metal bro.
RIP belly button
Applause 👏 for being an Eagle Scout! One of my personal proudest accomplishments thus far in my life is becoming an Eagle Scout myself. I know this not the video subject but Boy Scouts is one of the greatest organizations for preparing young boys into becoming Great men through all the learning of so many subjects especially outdoors. I was also a Scout Leader for a few years & to help boys (especially those most susceptible to falling into wrong crowds, or bad family lives), to see their eyes light up when you take them camping & into Real Nature for their first time 😊. Sorry for the off the subject tangent. Just discovered your channel & really Enjoy your videos! Keep Up the great work!
I rarely wash my hands, I also eat food that I dropped on the ground, I was breast fed, and I chewed on a lot of objects when I was little. I think doing all of this built my immune system, which is why I almost NEVER get sick, unless it's really severe and now I only get things once then I never get it again in my life.
his hair line is taking an L
He's a beautiful man
High Gene should realise drugs are bad.... Ummmkay?
pls no...
Really cool to hear that you are an Eagle Scout Trace. I got mine in 2014. Good for you man.
Trace is going a little overboard on this. While a complete lack of hygiene is clearly detrimental to your health, there is plenty of evidence that *complete* hygiene, aka sterile conditions, is *also* detrimental to your health, and that the western obsession with cleanliness maybe be responsible for the rise in sever immunological issues, like peanut allergies. Over use of hand sanitizers and antibiotics is the leading cause of the rise in drug resistant bacteria. Bathing daily, or more can remove the oils that the skin needs to be healthy, leading to dry, cracked skin, which in turn can lead to infections. Also, avoiding contact with normal bacteria can weaken your immune system, allowing normally harmless bacteria to become dangerous.
Yes, hygiene is very important, but don't over do it. The harm done by lack of hygiene is pretty well matched with the harm of hyper hygiene.
I gave up on hygiene. But that's ok, I gave up on humans/society as well, so I'm not bothered by the lack of social life and fictive things like status.
Amen!
That's why you Stink
I haven't brushed my teeth in years and oddly enough I rarely have more than a couple of cavities. I have not washed my hands outside of the shower in years either.
You're disgusting
+Patrick Granados fat
same, i haven't really brushed my teeth in a few years and I still haven't gotten a cavity in 6 years
+protoborg Well the fluoride in your toothpaste is actually to blaim for a lot of teeth health issues. But, do you floss? It would be okay as long as you remove all the plaque.
***** That is a myth about fluoride. It does NOT cause health problems. I don't floss, either.
my grandfather said people bathed once a weak in the old days and they smelled and it was noticeable. he was taught and most people with good sense knew to wash face and hands after work amd before eating etc. but a full body bath was not a common thing and people did stink.
You did a good job on this video. Also a good reminder why euro style washing machines are not the best. We close the door and the seals never really dry out- leaving a bacteria breeding ground. That's why they smell and need to be 'cleaned'. Always leave these as well as top loading washers open or slightly adjar so they dry out.
If I gave up on hygiene would I become French
Sloughing is pronounced "sluffing."
+Michael Sellers i always said "sl-ouw-gh-ing"
Oh okay.
Sloffing.
+Darling Phenylethylamine, no.
tony could also be spelt as: ptoughneigh
how would you pronounce that if you saw it for the first time xD
Activator x was not vitamin K that is a common misconception. It was vitamin K2. Vitamin K comes from green plants many mammals can convert it to vitamin K2 and we eat there fat and get the directly converted version. One of the reasons why grass fed animals is a better idea is because of this Vitamin K dose that only happens when animals eat green plants.
Glad I found this channel.
I havent cleaned my mouth 7 years :DDD
why???
Reasons XD
+eyadamo silimato you got no teeth anymore?
You must be British l
+Daniel Silva um excuse me why?!
i put a splash of bleach in my laundry loads
I add a dash of bleach to my coffee each morning because I want to die lmao
Louinja yassssss!!
Lady Abstract the drying process from the sun or a dryer kills any bacteria left over, this is why a damp shirt smells weird but a freshly dry shirt smells good
i prefer oxiclean cuz billy mays nuff said
I have a relative that didn't take care of his teeth, and the infection got so bad it gave him a heart attack, and went into the brain. By the time he saw a doctor about it, he was given less than 6 months to live. That was a few years ago so now he is dead.
This is nice to listen to while I work on stuff. Turn on some chill music and have this play in the background and you can do some learning while being super productive.
