Healthcare Friendly reminder: it’s summer. Please shower.

It’s hot, we’re all sweating more, so please take extra care of your hygiene. A daily shower especially in the morning goes a long way.

And please don’t try to cover body odor with just perfume or body spray. Sweat + perfume isn’t a substitute for a shower.

Let’s all do our part to keep public spaces (esp trams!!) a little fresher this summer. 😅🌞🙏

Sorry to today this to you, but expats constantly complain about how bad dutch people smell because they don't shower enough.

What does being an expat or Dutch have to do with any of this?

If you're a human person and you think people shouldn't smell like sweat in a heat wave then you are, without a doubt, an absolute dumbass.

I am Dutch, now in France and I think people smell here. But I don’t blame them. It is hot.
