Personal HygieneThere comes a point at which your hygiene becomes less your problem and more everyone else's:
My old school nurse never seemed to wash - instead she wrapped herself in crepe bandages from the first aid kits. The smell was beyond pungent. If you got ill at school, it was better to suffer than try and explain symptoms whilst only breathing out.
When she was eventually 'let go',they had to strip the wallpaper in her office to get rid of the lingering odour.
How scuzzy have you got? Or, failing that, how bad have people you know got?

I'm a university student Statesidewhose name I can't mention for Very Good Reasons, and I was one of numerous victims of a certain unwashed overweight gentleman who lived on my floor of the dorm. The sweat trapped in his copious hair emitted a combination of odors so powerful that you knew he was coming by smell before you saw or heard him. Once, when prodded to take a shower, he didn't, since "his shampoo was upside down". Most people tried to avoid the part of the floor where his room was. I don't know how his roommie dealt with it, the poor guy.
