Cambridge Company Says Live Bacteria Spray Will Keep You Clean

You've heard of taking probiotics for a healthy gut, but what about literally spraying live bacteria on your skin?

Sounds like it would be great for the field... Most of the times, there were no showers anyway, just a bunch of baby wipes!!!

For people that suffer from major depression, this may be some help for their caretakers. when someone doesn't get out of bed for weeks or more, this might be a "lifesaver" for the loved ones around them. Or nursing home, hospital, etc. Hope it finds its way.

I actually like getting in the shower. However, it could be useful in the field where there are no showers. I've read stories of the troops in the field who were subjected to each others smells for weeks and months at a time.

Febreeze for people...In situations where a shower simply isn't possible this might not be a bad alternative.

Its apparent that you have never served in combat or aboard a submarine with the distillers OOC.

I knew a guy who did not step foot into a shower for six months. He just slathered himself in alcohol gel...he didn't die.
