Do you find it hard to imagine that you could not wash yourself for more than two weeks? Then you will not believe what will follow!
No shower for 12 years and not even dirty!
Dave Witlock, a chemical engineer who graduated from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in Boston (United States), did not take shower for twelve years and he is not dirty.
His solution to stay clean? It uses bacteria! More specifically, good bacteria.
Mother dirt, a probiotic-based spray
The chemist has developed Mother dirt (mother dirt, in French), a spray that would eliminate the need to take a shower.
His company, AOBiome, produces these sprays containing probiotics, living bacteria intended to restore the good bacteria that are no longer present on the skin because of the daily showers and other elements of the modern life.
These living micro-organisms, in addition to certain food products, such as yoghurts or cereals for example, are supposed to be beneficial for the health of the person who takes them.
43 euros: the price to stop showering
How to use the spray: you should spray yourself with it twice a day. The product has no odor and would provide a sensation similar to that of water.
The cost of Mother dirt? 49 dollars (43 euros).
