I Skipped Showering for Two Weeks and Bathed in Bacteria Instead
from Radio Motherboard
For two weeks, Motherboard writer Kate Lunau skipped her soap and deodorant—spritzing herself with a “live bacteria spray” instead. Her goal was to colonize her skin with ammonia-eating bacteria, which are supposed to neutralize the smell of sweat.

And, maybe more importantly, how bad did Kate smell by the end of it? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
