I wonder what anti-freeze would do?

Hmm...people handle a lot of stuff in homes...laundry soap, cleaners,
drain-o, etc. Should they go putting that **** in their armpits and crouch?

Besides -- why do we need to be odor free for months? Why not just shower
everyday rather than using AF to suppress what is natural?

I can hardly wait to see what you come up with next, Ig.

To each his own, I guess.

The sensitive area under arms etc, will absorb the anti-freeze. Say what
you will, but been in the automotive trade way long enough and been to
many seminars that cover hazardous materials. Do what you will, i like
to wash and use deodorant!

NO thanks!
I think a little sweat is good for ppl!
Its where the pheremones come from.



You still will swet like always after doing what I suggested... But
the sweat won't stink for a few months. Oh, and wear newly washed
clothes after application, to avoid contamination from unwashed
clothes.

i

Yeah, and ruin your new clothes with anti-freeze?? LOL

Well, I have some pesky squirrels I'd like to be rid of....I'm sure they're
too smart to drink AF, though...

Just because "deodorant chemicals" were found on tumors, does not mean
that they caused tumors.

If antifreeze was carcinogenic, it would be listed on the MSDS.


Wait Ignoramus!
You chastise ppl for eating or THINKING of eating so called "Fake foods"
but you will put a poison on your skin?
Im not picking a fight I just think its strange and I wanna know how you

Screw your detractors, Igor -- I'll be your guinea pig!

Now to find someone to smell my armpits and see if they're stinky...



LOL

come to think about it. i know for a fact they are making antifreeze pet
and eco friendly now. i wonder if it would have the same effect? more safer
to boot.

im not sure but wouldnt an antibacterial soap do just the same?

soap is, by its very nature, antibacterial. using antibacterial soap
when you don't have an infection is pointless.

Well, if that "****" works as well as antifreeze/ethylen glycol does
for me, and does not cause irritation, why not.

man alive. i don't even know what to say to that one.

Showering every day does not get rid of armpit smell, as far as I am
concerned. Makes it a little less intense, but it's still there.

have you ever tried one of those salt crystal deodorants? my exhusband
was a somewhat stinky cat until i got him using those. it worked like a
charm.
