News Health Articles - Where More Odor, Sweat Or jeans are Not washed 3 Months?. When people wear the same jeans for 3 consecutive months and never wash it, maybe the person will be ostracized because of the smell. But according to researchers, jeans are not washed it smells just the same as the human body odor.

Researchers from Melbourne University, Tullia Jack challenged to prove it through an experiment. For this purpose, he recruited 30 volunteers who will wear the jeans for 3 consecutive months from April to May 2012.



According to Jack, jeans are worn by the volunteers in this experiment will be very dirty both by ex-food and dust and oil. However, he believes, the dirt was just right to make his appearance look shabby while the smell will not be as bad as imagined.

"The smell of unwashed jeans that will not interfere with social exclusion. It smelled the same as the human body odor," said Jack, who conducted experiments such as the final task of the study continued, as quoted from Dailytelegraph, Monday (01/02/2012).

Through such evidence, he wanted to criticize the tendency of modern man is too scared or paranoid with dirt. Because do not want to dirty, people tend to wash everything in excess and as a result there was clean water crisis.

If the allegations prove correct Jack, then this experiment will strengthen research on clean jeans before. In previous studies, jeans are not washed in months not proven to cause disease in which the origin of coated clothes are always clean.

Research at the University of Alberta shows that jeans are not washed for 15 months only grown an average of 10,000 units of bacteria per square centimeter. Types of bacteria found in bacterial pathogens are generally not trigger a serious threat.
