Meet Scientist Who Hasn’t Taken His Bath In 12 Years
Co-founder of AOBiome, says he hasn’t showered in 12 years and hopes others will catch on. Chemical engineer Dave Whitlock told the Boston Globe there is no scientific basis proving showers to be the basis of healthy human hygiene. “No one did clinical trials on people taking showers every day,” he said. According to him, showers and other products like shampoo strip good bacteria from human skin.
Instead of showering, Whitlock uses a spray of his own invention — Mother Dirt AO+ Mist — to keep his skin healthy and clean. As of this year, the spray is available for purchase by the public.
The AO+ Mist contains friendly ammonia-oxidizing bacteria, or AOB, which acts as skin cleansers to clean sweat and oil on the skin. So Whitlock is hoping some people will join him on this.

Due to high levels of poverty under the PF people are unable to bath. Vote for UPND and this product will be made available for free to everyone.

At the rate at which the pf is failing to manage natural resource soon most of you will be forced to go without showers. So please do not laugh at this man. Atleast he has the choice you might not have

Im afraid some people on this site will die of a heart attack in the event that their preferred leader lost the 2016 polls. Surely what has pf got to do with this scientist not bathing. Let’s grow up or else will stop taking some you serious.
