I have a few acquaintances that have developed quite a funk. I’m afraid to ask if they think they don’t reek or if they have reasons that are more important to them.
I know there’s research that supports bathing much less than once per day but this is different. Obviously none in months or years. Lemmers that don’t ever shower or bathe, what’s your reasoning? Thanks for your insight!
Not so fun fact: there’s a bacterium transmissible to humans through cat waste, toxoplasma gondii. One of the symptoms of a toxoplasmosis infection is a complete inability to smell cat urine.
That’s what I first thought of when reading your story, because cat hoarders often get toxoplasmosis and thus have no idea that they smell bad. The disease can cause all kinds of neurological symptoms and also cause birth defects when pregnant women get infected.
