Why there is always around a horrible smell of sweat in Poland [188]
In many hot countries, a certain amount of BO is acceptable for various reasons. One is the lack of water and showers, two cause a lot of men do tedious manual work and hardly have time for luxuries such as a shower. They would clean up at the end of the day using water buckets and the like. This would remove the sweat but wont provide the same freshness that a full shower + deodorant would do. Still though. It is acceptable as at worst they will have some residual BO but nothing discomforting.
Not long ago this used to be the case in the west too, its just that the younger generation somehow think that Dove and Axe have always been around.
As anyone whod done any manual work knows, fresh sweat as such is almost odourless and hardly discomforting . The BO is essentially caused by the bacterial breakdown of perspiration. Hence the sweat should be removed as soon as reasonably possible. A shower, or an old fashioned wash up is usualy enough.
Those who stink just dont bathe enough. Nothing to do with deodorants.
