I agree it's good to stay away from too much chemicals. I've put so much chemicals on my body that I think I'm near toxic and it's dangerous I know but when you're so desperate just for one day of not smelling at an important time...you try things.I do not make myself a hermit I believe. I actually go out there and try to go out with people despite being treated so bad when im there i wonder why i went and despite being given excuses 90% of the time. in spite of it sometimes i invite myself. but ive become even more a hermit since my odor got worse 6 years ago and life is almost unbearable. on top of that im sick in a few different ways. this bo things is just awful, i wouldnt even wish it on my worst enemy.
