People who think it's cool to stink

I don't get how people cannot wear deodorant to the gym. There's a difference in smell between someone who is just sweaty and someone who doesn't use a little bit of "Secret" before their work out session. It's so gross. If they happen to be working out next to me, I have to leave the area because the smell makes me physically ill.

I do feel bad for the people who can't control how they smell. I know it's harder to control it when you have diabetes. My husband's college roommate had a really aggressive case of diabetes so he had this unique smell to him. It wasn't the I-don't-shower type smell but there was a slight odor to him.

I've had a few people insist to me that they less you shower, the less you need to --- that by not showering as often, they'd trained their bodies to get used to it and not produce as much stick. In fact, they had only trained their noses not to notice

I'm confused. Is it better or worse to use deodorant to the gym? I would guess better but I'm a little confused by your post.

Gross!!! Phtttptth!!! Pseudomonads, Serritia, and Staphylococcos stank!!! No matter how you say the aroma is more humanely. Put some dayum bleach on it! Maybe that's what the kids in Florida are saying about bleach drinking...
