I can’t emphasize this enough but it’s hygiene.

  • hand washing with soap and water for at least 20 seconds after using the bathroom, handling garbage, and definitely before after preparing or eating foods.
  • showering regularly and wearing fresh chonies and clean clothes daily.
  • brushing teeth twice daily for two minutes and flossing daily.
  • keeping fingernails and toenails trimmed and clean.
  • covering the nose and mouth when coughing or sneezing.
  • keeping outer ears and nasal passages clean and clear of any buildup.

I’m Korean and I have a mutation in my ABCC11 gene (as do many East Asians). Does that make me a mutant? Maybe. I’ve never had to use deodorant before but I have used antiperspirant on my palms when I was in piano competitions/performances to prevent them from getting sweaty.

Because my body odor is pretty much odorless, I am more sensitive to smells around me. My non-Korean friends joke that I have a nose of a bloodhound.

Oh yeah and fun fact, my ear wax is white, dry, and flaky.

    I think it’s a blessing to have a body odor that feels odorless. Your smelling ability is active. 😁

    Personal hygeine isn’t optional. Lucky to not have BO! I have to deal with it everyday but its not as bad as it used to be when I was a teenager. Nervous sweats and a hot nation are a terrible combination.
