Like, I travel around for work and I’ve met plenty of people from all backgrounds.

Why is there a demographic of people who don’t seemingly bathe regularly, or at the very least wear something to cover up their BO? I could understand if it’s an allergy, or even religious reasons (though the people I’ve met that smell bad are usually you’re average American young adult man) but recently (like in the past week, recently) I’ve met a concerning number of people who don’t seem to wear any kind of deodorant or possibly don’t even bathe regularly; it’s starting to become an issue for me, as I don’t even want to interact with them when I can smell them walking up from 3+ feet away yet I need to for work.

Does anyone have any possible insight?

    And there is your answer. Some people stink because they fill their head with pseudo scientific nonsense to rationalize not engaging in basic hygiene tasks.

            But the problem is, Corynebacterium colonies stink. They smell heavily of the smell we associate with body odor.

            The article you linked even says so.

            My issue is not whether people that don’t use deodorant have bacterium 1 or bacterium 2. It’s that they stink.

            If you don’t use deodorant, you have smelly armpit bacteria.
