killamch89 Posted June 16, 2021 Share Posted June 16, 2021 With how my life is right now, I can't give up the internet for a month because that's where my income is made. I can always just wear a gas mask and ignore my own scent - problem solved 🤣. What's your choice and why? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Blackangel Posted June 16, 2021 Share Posted June 16, 2021 (edited) I would give up bathing. I have a condition that causes my body to overproduce a certain chemical, and that causes it to produce a foul odor. I take medication for it, and put deodorant on my entire body on top of bathing, but it doesn't help much. So I would give up the bathing as a test, and see if there's any significant difference in the odor.

It's a powerful antibiotic that was popular in medicine for centuries. It helps to build red blood cells and also helps to repair/ disinfect any open wounds. I used it on my dog when she had gotten lyme disease when she was younger and she was okay in a couple of days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly it'd be hard to explain but it's not quite like the metallic silver we know and it doesn't trigger any allergies (unless we count the drastic boost to the immune system which can cause you sneeze a bit at times). To be honest, I'm also allergic to silver metals (I think I could be a vampire) but colloidal silver is the only compound that hasn't triggered mine.

If serious, are you thinking Pureblood, halfblood, or barcai? Also what house? Edited June 18, 2021 by The Blackangel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reality vs Adventure Posted July 8, 2021 Share Posted July 8, 2021 What about Angstrom silver. Colloidal has been known to cause blue skin. Let the clay clean me is what I say. Swim in a lake and roll in muddy clay and you are cleaner than any mysophobic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Empire Posted July 8, 2021 Share Posted July 8, 2021 I have to use the internet for my job. If it weren't for that, I'd rather give up the internet. Assuming showers are included in bathing, can I get away with sponge baths? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After I had surgery years ago, I was in the hospital for a week and couldn't bathe but they allowed me to clean up using cleansing cloths. I still reeked! If I wasn't active I could probably go without bathing for a month but wow, I'd be rubbing some type of scent all over to mask the smell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or you could just stand in the rain when it's falling - you know that's technically not your fault if you got wet somehow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depends on where you live! I used to live where there were steel mills and the rain that fell was so polluted your car got covered in some weird coating. I wouldn't want that on my body. I'm glad more regulations have been put out to protect the environment since I was little. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The same thing happens in places like China especially in the more urban areas - there is literal smog in the air. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where I live now is in the country and I can just breathe in so much deeper now! My husband has asthma and he hasn't had to go to the ER for a breathing treatment in 8 years! yay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
