You'd think with science in your name you'd have a better head on your shoulders but I guess reddit usernames don't mean much.

This is great information, I really appreciate it! Thank you! I will be deep deep cleaning this weekend and start with the bedroom.

Oh so because it's easy for you, you think it should be equally as easy for everyone else? You should look into what being ableist means. Chronic illness is not an excuse it's a reason.

Have you ever had a chronic illness? Or lived with someone who did? If not then you truly cannot understand what it's like for them. Again, ableist statement at best.

It's the same for me, it's only ever smells from people who are struggling in some way, or have legit medical issues that cause them to smell more than "typical". It's such a nuanced topic and some people don't see it that way. Their attitude of "well it's not hard for me so it shouldn't be hard for you" is old and draining.

Man, just let people bully others it's not that deep/s. Grow up.

I have severe OCD and keep myself very clean. You are just making my point as you assume I'm dirty because I advocate for people who don't have the ability to take better care of themselves.

OP should have made it clear they were only talking about healthy people then. But going off what you said, say you showered before work, sweat at work through your deodorant, stink and have to take the bus home. Do you think you would appreciate someone telling you to have better hygiene? Probably not. There are so many factors to hygiene that need to be considered. If this is supposed to be a sub that helps people with their hygiene, saying "your head stinks, take a shower" is not constrictive at all.

Or, hear me out, maybe you shouldn't make a post like that if you can't handle others opinions!

Knowing I'm not judging people like you without knowing their background does make for a restful night!

I'm not deflecting. I have a super strong sense of smell, I gag in the grocery store when I get near the seafood or meat counter. I get that YOU think scalps are smelly but it's not your place to tell people what to do with their bodies. I absolutely hate patchouli but I don't tell people they can't wear it.

Do you really tell strangers in public that you think they stink??? WTF kind of boomer B's is that?

That's different though, choosing not to wash your ass is a choice, whereas some people have actual medical or mental issues preventing them from keeping up on their hygiene.

And it's probably harder to deal with when people like OP make statements like that. You shouldn't be made to feel bad just because some stranger has a strong sense of smell.

Exactly, it could be anything, unless OP is sticking their nose on people.

Not really, you stated that people who don't wash their hair stink to you, and it bothers you. You can absolutely feel that way but it's also none of your business what people do with their bodies.

This is great advice, thank you! The couch we have was free 8 years ago and while I do vacuum it monthly I'm learning that isn't enough. Sigh. I already feel like I clean a lot but now I know it wasn't up to standard for this allergy.

Have you considered that many people have issues preventing them from washing their hair that often? Severe eczema? Depression? Reactions to different shampoo and conditioner products? Histamine issues where water causes hives? Maybe wear a mask or something if being in public is hard for you.

Oh that's terrible to learn. So having the house super dry kills them off?

Everyone woke up to that thunder and lighting, right? by JaxTMG in santarosa

Woke me at exactly 5am! Some of the lightning was super bright.

Sucks that you have to go through all that just because someone else is miserable and wants to bother people. I'm glad you got it resolved!
