Body Odor

I know you've all met someone or come in contact with a person that has the most God Awful body odor. Where does this come from?

Wikipedia says BO is the smell of bacteria growing on the body. These bacteria multiply rapidly in the presence of sweat, but sweat itself is almost completely odorless.

Does this make the smell worse to anyone else? EW! and ICK! It's like when you open the fridge and find a container pushed way in the back and it's been there for a while...and you pop the lid and just when you think you've prepaired yourself for what you're about to see...WHAM! the smell assults your nostrils!!! GAH.

So the thing that started this blog is that there's this really nice guy that delivers the mail but he has the WORST body odor ever. And what's worse than bad BO? Lingering bad BO. Ah Freaking Mazing. I've often taken the stairs just to avoid riding in an elevator with this guy. He's always so nice and tells me about his grandson and his wife but I can't help but wish that he would just drop off the mail and leave because the smell just kills me.

What in the world do you do? Just hold your breath and hope it goes away sooner? It's just frustrating!
