If sweat is salt and water, then why does it smell so bad?!


Question: If sweat is salt and water, then why does it smell so bad!?
Answers:
It is a medium for growing bacteria!. If you keep bacteria off of your skin and drink appropriate amounts of water, your sweat does not stink!. Also, using anti perspirants makes your sweat stink more when you do allow yourself to sweat because it blocks bacteria inside!. I started using something called a deodorant stone years ago, and then just use deodorant (not antiperspirant) and my underarms just smell like skin even when I have been sweating heavily!.

Because our skin has a form of bacteria on it at all times!. This bacteria is for the large part unharmful and can actually help us!. Just as our intestines have bacteria inside them that helps us!. When gas forms, then comes out, well, you know what that smells like!!! LOLWww@Answer-Health@Com

It only smells really bad if you have bacteria on your body!. When you don't wash your body very well everytime you take a shower and then you go off off and sweat, your bacteria mixes with your sweat causing "B!.O!."Www@Answer-Health@Com

There is also urea in it, (like your pee)!.!.!.so when that sits on your body it is going to smell!.!.don't worry though its not like ur sweating out pee!. It is just a part of pee!. Its kind of gross but i remember learning it in biology class!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Sweat is odorless!. The odor is from the bacteria which grows in it!. A daily shower with deodorant soap followed by application of deodorant ( with or without antiperspirant) will make you pleasant company!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
