Personal HygieneThere comes a point at which your hygiene becomes less your problem and more everyone else's:
My old school nurse never seemed to wash - instead she wrapped herself in crepe bandages from the first aid kits. The smell was beyond pungent. If you got ill at school, it was better to suffer than try and explain symptoms whilst only breathing out.
When she was eventually 'let go',they had to strip the wallpaper in her office to get rid of the lingering odour.
How scuzzy have you got? Or, failing that, how bad have people you know got?

I have...two infected ingrown toenails. If anyone reading has ever had these, they'll understand the nature of the smell... I no longer experience that disgusting, yet satisfying odour when you take your shoes off after a long day when you've been up on your feet rushing around... I get an absolutely revolting, repulsive waft of bacteria infested sweat fill a corner of my room as soon as I take my shoes and socks off. A mate of mine has suggested I start a blog called mymankytoe.com documenting the various stages day by day of my toe.
I was also a right minger in school... ashamedly I admit I was the smelly kid... this of course fuelled bullying and torment... which in turn has made me far more attentive nowadays towards cleanliness and hygiene. Good in the end I suppose. These days I cringe at the idea of not washing my hair EVERY morning...
