If you don’t shower for a year, gross things will happen to you

KFI:

An article in USA Today asks the question, “What would happen if you didn’t shower for a year?” It’s no surprise to find out that some pretty gross stuff happens to your body:

  • You’d smell
  • Brown clumps would grow on you
  • You’d be at a higher risk of infection
  • Your head would itch
  • You would get acne or puss bumps
  • The groin region will have problems

And here’s our favorite: You’ll get scum between the toes:

  1. Beins a retired bubblehead. We used to “shower” those
    greaseballs that wouldn’t shower, and they didn’t have
    fun when it happened. It’s not allowed any more. We
    also shitcanned their shoes. We didn’t make life easy
    for the lazy.

    But that’s not allowed anymore, that’s why I retired.

  2. They didn’t reveal what goes on in the nether regions for the males that aren’t circumsized. Be assured that it’s smellier and nastier than whatever’s going on between them toes! As well as far more likely to cause an infection. Not to mention pretty darn painful when I discover it, have to retract and clean up the mess!

  6. I don’t have a link but there is
    a dude in Iraq that is 80 something
    and has not bathed for 40 years.He
    is the dirtiest man alive.Looks like
    it too.

  8. This reminds me of the time a reporter visiting an occupy camp said, “The first thing you notice is the smell”.
    Left wing activism. Conserving water, offending senses.

  9. There are some people (apparently the majority of obese America) who need to not only shower once a day but also lift the folds and wash under them where the sebaceous secretion really takes hold. Including the back folds, hire someone to help if necessary.

  11. “Hoser down buddy ‘fore we do it to ya” was my favorite sayin to those in my division on shipboard. We also warned that tide detergent usually got the dirt out.

  19. Actually, go back a couple hundred years and it was considered unhealthy and strange to bathe too often. That’s why the French invented perfume.

    That’s also why they got the idea for cheese.

  22. Cracker’s right. There are some patients in hospital and long term care where a bath is a 4 person job. Two to hold up the pannus (skin fold), one to operate the lift equipment, and one to work the bucket and sponge.

    I always ran to get the equipment first.

  23. Drill instructor casually made a comment, to no one, that one of the troops needed a lesson in hygiene and that if things didn’t improve by tomorrow the DIs would give us all a lesson we’d never forget. Stinky didn’t pick up on the hint. That night he was scrubbed withing an inch of his life. Covered with scabs the next day. Turns out there were no witnesses. DI accused him of making up the story. Never had another problem.

  29. When I was taking chemo last year, I was very weak, had poor balance and was nauseous all the time. I was actually very dangerous for me to get in and out of the shower. I bathed very infrequently.

    Not being able to get clean made the whole cancer treatment experience all that much worse.
