I think it's very disrespectful for people to expose their B.O. to other people, especially in tight spaces such as an airplane. You can't always change seats...many flights are full and you just can't move. I don't think most of the people have the excuse that it's a medical condition. What medical condition causes severe body odor---just curious? I know certain medications make you sweat more, but I am curious to know what actually causes a severe body odor? Can anyone enlighten me?
I know a person who 'doesn't believe in' deodorant, and doesn't wash clothes until they've been worn a few times. Also has horrible smelly feet, and takes his shoes off around others, which makes everyone around him gag.
I've had to sit next to someone on a long flight who had horrible B.O. ---I seriously thought I might throw-up. I don't usually drink, but I did on that flight. I also had to get up and walk around just to get some fresh air.
I worked with a very obese woman years ago and she just sweated a lot, but she would use aeresol deodorant in area's other than her underarms....and she said that helped with the sweating and odor. At least she acknowledged she had a problem and tried to do what she could to minimize it.
No matter what the reason, isn't there anything these people can do to minimize the problem, at least so other people don't have to suffer?
I do know that some cultures do not believe in deodorant, but I'm wondering if they even shower often---- it 'smells' like they don't, and you can sometimes tell when someone hasn't washed their hair for days--which can also smell pretty unpleasant. There's got to be some way to deal it it, at least a little. At least before a flight...
