Aside from smell, what are the disadvantages of not bathing regularly?

Answer 1

Ummm...the smell pretty much sums it up.

Answer 2

Not keeping the body clean, leaves the body open to about every sickness. Our bodies are always full of bacteria on the skin, anyway. When we do not bathe regularly, the bacteria grow until there is 'that smell', and they are just aching to turn into a bad illness. MRSA is easily 'caught' when sanitation is not where it should be.............lice come..........but, these are things that show up on the outside. Every illness out there is just waiting for the person who does not bath, nearly.

Answer 3

actually if you go long enough without bathing your body's pH levels will balance themselves and you will no longer smell.
But I would not recommend this technique. Who knows how long that will take!
On the down side, your hair will probably start dreading it self, things may itch, and you won't have many friends.

Answer 4

you can get scabies in your head.....there like little bug things that burrow in your head...you can get infections like staph in a open cut or bite that if not taken care of properly can spread into your blood and eventually kill you....infection in private areas....build up of greasy residue in you hair...funky smells....i don't think its very healthy not to bath regularly....

Answer 5

build up of bacteria in your private area and itching

Answer 6

none if your a homeless bum
