[QUOTE="nlj, post: 639206, member: 17650"] Thanks Echo, thanks for getting it, and sorry that you do. He stinks even after 2 showers and a bath. It's an ingrained stench from months on end of living with no toilet, no hot water, no soap, no anything. He's attached to his rags, he won't let them be put in a sealed bag and thrown away. So they go in the washing machine, rinse, boil, rinse, boil, and still they smell (if they haven't fallen apart) and my washing machine smells and has to be cleaned out before I put anything else in it. He showers and smells again within ten minutes. He sits and eats with us and I feel nauseated. He cuts a slice of bread and I have to throw the loaf away. His nails are overgrown and broken and black. Thank you all so much for your replies. Thanks for reading and caring. I wish a laundromat and a shower would solve it, but it's too extreme. Yes RE, I'm sure he doesn't realise how bad it is, but even if he did then it wouldn't change. He lives outside of society, in a world where personal hygiene has little meaning and no importance. He lives in a world where just surviving each day and getting enough to eat takes all his energy. [/QUOTE]
