How hard is it to just do basic hygiene and be considerate to your fellow passengers (I'm looking at that one ass who lit a blunt in the toliet).
Airlines already suck and this shit just makes it even more annoying for regular travelers.
You can never know someone's situation, we don't know about this guys mental health or physical living conditions, he may have been living rough for some time, or indeed he may just be a filthy inconsiderate bastard.
I had issues with foot odor for a couple years after a fungal infection I got from spelunking. It lead to some pretty severe depression, I didn't wanna leave the house, wasn't bad if I didn't wear shoes but as soon as I did, even if they were brand new it was noticeable within half an hour to an hour. Complaints were even made at work even though my daily routine was probably 3 or 4 times longer than everyone else.
Even after the issue is now fixed, I still get anxious and stuff with flights and bus journeys or being close to people, I know it's in my head though.
In the article it states the smell was so bad several passengers vomited. They even tried having him stay in the lavatory, to no avail. I'm not sure why he had that odor, but it was no joke from the sounds of it.
Why do they gotta discriminate against smash players like that.
Used to have to take the bus and there was always this guy that smelled like rotting garbage, obviously mentally ill be I felt like hosing him down with deodorant or wearing a gas mask.
So which one of you was this?
I feel bad for the guy, but at the same time, you shouldn't be trapped in a steel tube with someone for hours at a time if the smell is bad enough to cause people to vomit.
Oh christ, I used to work with a girl who literally smelled like... Like...
It's weird to describe/imagine, but imagine a moth-ball with severe morning breath. Absolutely horrible. Now imagine being stuck in a van with that person for upwards of 3-4 hours.
I went to this thing called "Folk high school" where you basicly do some shit you really want to do while living there. Look it up.
This one girl. Oh boy. In the hallway where she had her room... You knew it was her hallway. She did not smell good. At all. It was so bad that the entire hallway smelled like her. She apprantly did not use deodorant at all, because it wasn't natural or some shit like that, and, obviously by her smell, she didn't really shower or wash herself at all during the whole year. It was awful. The super sad part is that her roommate was some girl I really like (still do!) and she smelled almost as bad, eventhough she did wash herself and such. I do not know how she managed the whole year with this girl, but she did. She was super nice too, but the smell was unbearable. I feel so bad for her.
There are some people who naturally have really strong body odor. They can hop out of the shower and still smell like a fucked up cabbage, can't quite remember the cause but I believe it's genetic. Also some people who have really bad diets smell terrible because their body excretes more acetone as a metabolic byproduct, which produces that strong, sweet/rotten smell you sometimes smell on certain people all the time, which can be really difficult to get rid of, the slightest bit of sweat and it comes back. Then you have people who sweat all damn day and at worst smell kind of salty.
The human body is weird as fuck, people don't always smell terrible because they have poor hygiene.
I remember I forgot to wear deodorant to work one time and I was sweaty as fuck near the end of the day (physical labor), wound up working next to a guy who just insulted me non-stop for the last hour of my shift. "Man, dude, you fucking stink.", "I have days where I forget to wipe my ass after I take a shit too.", etc.
I have not forgotten to wear deodorant since.
I feel really fucking awful for this dude.
Imagine having people repulsed by you to the point that they literally flee the area due to you being in it.
There is an easy solution for this guy, but not for the people trapped in a can with him
then take a shower lmao
Even if it was as simple as taking a shower, that's something that'd fuck you up pretty much forever.
Although, that's assuming that taking a shower would have even fixed it, and I'm going to assume that if he smelled that repulsive, it probably would not have.
I'm just curious, how is it took so long to resolve the problem?
The fungal infection was apparently gone within a few months but my feet were still suffering from Hyperhidrosis for a long time after, as soon as I put on shoes they would be soaking within minutes. This in itself caused issues, I worked as a chef for a long time, constantly in boots caused a kind of trench foot, my soles of my feet were a sickly white and yellow colour, dead skin everywhere and pock marked full of holes that would trigger any Trypophobia sufferer into a frenzy.
I'm actually quite proud of myself for getting rid of it.
I self diagnosed everything after the initial fungal infection and treated myself with my own means (although only really at the end of it, I was still applying anti fungal stuff up until I realized it was pointless). The doctors were not helping me at all.
I built my own iontophoresis device out of scrap wiring and some baking trays and essentially put a low electrical current through my feet submerged in water for about 50 minutes a day. (3 9 Volt batteries in series) I would recommend this treatment to anyone who is struggling with hand or feet sweat, you typically have to keep it up but after my feet were dry and sweat levels brought back to normal for some time my problems have all but since went away.
I'm a very happy man now and my confidence is back to full swing.
Ah i see it was the knock-on effects of the infection that were really the problem
i was just having a hard time imagining what kind of bastard fungal you had contracted that wasn't responding to medication.
I actually don't know and the doctor was really interested.
I slipped into a pool of water in a cave that was stagnant for god knows how long, the smell was aweful and the problems followed a week or so after that so I'm assuming it was the source.

Well fuck, that explains it then
Huh? So the dude had basicaly become a zombie?
Tough luck. Is there a better explanation than this article?
Necrosis happens for a variety of reasons. It really only means that tissue is dying. It could have been from anything from IV drug use to a spider bite to an infected wound
Holy fucking Christ he was literally putrefying on-flight.
Yeah without bringing up pics necrosis is a fucking disgusting and awful disease considering you're rotting from the inside out. Some forms have his inner workings decaying, some worse forms have everything rotting. My guess its the former because I think if it was the latter I think he would have been kicked off sooner. Sucks that this happened, and sadly it looks like he didn't exactly go peacefully considering the diseases effects on the body.
