LOL! I'll show this to my younger son. Might convince him to rethink his opinion that no one notices how he smells.

My thought is...wouldn't you knock yourself out if you smelled that bad. I just don't get how people with B.O. don't know they smell.

pheeeeewwww! Now that is sick!
That reminds me there was an elderly brother in our hall who reeked, I mean really skanky funky smell going on. Many of the elders spoke to him, some of their wives gave him soap, deoderant and such all to have him use the stuff and then put his dirty smelly clothes back on! Finally someone wised up and went over to his house and took all his old smelly clothes replaced them with new fresh clothes all at great cost. His smell must have REALLY bothered this guy!!! Well a few months you guessed it he was back to smelly funky dude. One perk for him was he always got to sit wherever he wanted at the hall and have several rows all to himself............phew!!!

Interesting story. Regarding him being able to stand his own odor, I would guess that he got used to it, although we can see he inevitably had to conform to community standards to remain a part of the community. I remember some of my college classmates seemed to be ok with bathing only once a week or at least it seemed that way. Perhaps that was the norm in their country. Then again around finals time, many students would start looking a bit rough around the edges.
I wonder how people smelled before soap/bodywash, deoderant and toothpaste were invented having only the use of water. Now these products are essential. I think that's a good thing, too. I would not feel right without them.

I ditto Bebu's remarks for my 14 year old when she said.

I have no idea why my 14 year old can't smell that he needs a shower. It just stumps me. sincerely Special K -

A person needs to be really clean or really dirty to be comfortable.

Nepalese people usally only bathe once a year. (not all, but people in the hills). Also, they rarely wash they're clothing, because washing clothing wears them out; they cannot afford new clothing like we can.
If you ever go climbing in Nepal, get ready for it. They're idea of hygene is rather similar.
