Okay, but my point was they aren’t actually going years without using a cleaning agent. They're using acidic and/or oil based disinfecting cleansers on occasion, because they're not feral. For some reason y'all keep arguing with me about that?
i wonder how true this is throughout society. Probably more true in some places rather than others. Europeans for a while didn't bathe very regularly at all.
Like as far as i can tell, the most significant effect bathing has is that it reduces the spread of disease, and gets rid of dirt build up.
Bathing with cleansers also reduces the instance of fungal and bacterial growth which causes dandruff and acne, which are caused by the immune system responding to the shit growing on your skin. Hence, no-poo still involves other types of cleansers.
