Answer:One of the most effective ways we have to protect ourselves and others from illness is good personal hygiene. This means washing your hands, especially, but also your body. It means being careful not to cough or sneeze on others, cleaning things that you touch if you are unwell, putting items such as tissues (that may have germs) into a bin, and using protection (like gloves or condoms) when you might be at risk of catching an infection.
Personal hygiene, such as bathing, is very much dependent on the culture in which you live. In some cultures, it is expected that you will wash your body at least every day and use deodorants to stop body smells. Other cultures have different expectations.
Body odour
Body smells are caused by a number of factors working in combination, including:
Chemicals in sweat, including pheromones, which are made by the body and sexually attract (or repel) other people.
Wastes excreted through the skin, such as metabolised alcohol.
The actions of bacteria that live on the skin and feed on dead skin cells and sweat.
Unwashed clothes, such as underwear and socks.
