But I thought ...I agree, the pic is a little gross. But I thought doctors had seen it all, and aren't surprised by anything. I guess I'll think twice next time about putting on that little robe they give you. I can just see the water cooler talk now. <BR/><BR/>Unlike our MD friend, I actually did the research on body odor. For healthy individuals, human sweat has no noticable odor. However, the bacteria that feed on the sugars and minerals in sweat have very smelly, shall we say, by-products. So, get a warm, wet place for bacteria to grow(like the armpit), add hair (for increased surface area), and voila! Body odor. The same applies for feet, but with different bacteria.<BR/><BR/>So I guess I'm a little different because I don't sweat very much - mostly because I sit behind a desk all day. Mix in a little sweat and a little time, and I'm sure I'd smell of you-know-what just like the rest of the world.<BR/><BR/>Unless I'm naturally anti-bacterial, in which case being odorless is just one of my many super-powers...Benjaminhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10142377311082312242noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24918253.post-1145983743075164362006-04-25T11:49:00.000-05:002006-04-25T11:49:00.000-05:00ok, that's just a gross picture. something about u...ok, that's just a gross picture. something about underarm hair that is just disgusting. i could research this topic for you on why you don't have the same pheromones others do and did you have them at puberty and now you've just run out of them? i don't know. and i honestly don't want to look that stuff up. call me lazy. i can say that my chinese grandma always claimed that she didn't need deodorant and NEVER wore it. and i'll have you know that anyone that has ever been within a foot of her on a humid louisiana day could attest that she was seriously mistaken! but since i've been in close contact with you since the discontinuation of the deodorant, i'd have to say that in your case, you don't seem to be mistaken. but please don't make me research why that is so...Stacyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14409129862396241167noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24918253.post-1145935602304415702006-04-24T22:26:00.000-05:002006-04-24T22:26:00.000-05:00Luck you, Ben!
