Pop star Miley Cyrus told fans that she’s not bathing during her self-quarantine, MTO News has learned. The singer claims that she’s been wearing the same clothes now for the past 5 days – and she doesn’t plan on changing or bathing “anytime soon.”
Here’s the video with Miley making that announcement:
Going too long without bathing can cause serious health effects. First off, it will lead to body odor and allow dead skin cells, sweat, and oil to build up on the surface of the skin and clog pores. This can trigger an acne breakout.
Second, wearing sweaty, moist or soiled clothes for long periods increases the risk of bacterial or fungal infections such as jock itch.
And if taken to the extreme, it could be deadly. If you go too long without bathing, you can get dermatitis neglecta (DN), a condition in which brown patches of dead cells, dirt, sweat, and grime form on the skin.
Also known as “unwashed dermatosis,” this condition tends to occur among people who are unable to adequately clean their bodies due to an injury or physical disablity. It can lead to amputation of limbs.
