In thinking the worst thing about this hot weather is smelly people?

I’m on a train back from London after a few days break and the whole place seemed to smell of BO, I know it’s very hot and sticky but it’s vile.

sitting on this train there’s been several people sitting/standing beside us who have been so smelly they’ve made me feel literally sick. I don’t know how hard it is to wash once a day and stick deodorant on?
There was one man, well dressed stand beside me whilst I was sitting and I could smell what I thought was poo off him like a not wiping/festering in the heat situation. Then there’s the BO/stale fags/stale beer delight we had on the way down.

I know I’m tired and perimenopausal but subjecting other people to your smelly body is horrible IMO

People who smell at 8am on the Tube (into London, so not likely to be shift workers on their way home!)
How hard is it to put on clean clothes daily in a heatwave? And to shower in the morning?

Fresh sweat doesn’t smell very much

Thing is if you start sweating at 8-9am then by 4-5pm it’s not fresh sweat is it?
