Is this a good idea? (he thought so)
You read this headline correctly. And he actually has a background in engineering. Anyone can experiment it is not reserved for those who have backgrounds in physics and the like. However, there was a method to his madness and he wanted to test one of the most widespread theories ever. The theory that it is healthy to shower. Here is more:
David Whitlock, a chemical engineer in Boston, has not showered for 12 years.
Whitlock isn’t running an experiment in extreme water conservation. Rather, he believes that humans don’t need to shower to be healthy, and that a daily soap scrub may actually remove a beneficial type of bacteria that keeps the bacteria that contribute to B.O. in check.
To boost the presence of odor-eating bacteria, Whitlock has designed a bacterial spray called AO+ Mist, which is now sold by the companyAoBiome under the brand Mother Dirt. The company hopes this bacterial spritz could reduce the need for products such as soaps and deodorants and potentially even reduce or eliminate the need for showering for those so inclined.
Does this sounds reasonable or is he making a mistake?

Ok, but body odor from the arm pits isn’t the only odor showering prevents. I’m way more worried about the thunder from down under.
“What can’t I get a date?”
So if your covered in mud, dirt or grime, how do you clean yourself off. I’ve passed by a number of homeless people who don’t have regular access to a shower or bath, and they smell.
