Some people get these from shaving. -Original Message- From: David [mailto:dlocklea...@gmail.com] Sent: Thursday, December 04, 2008 9:09 PM To: o...@texascavers.com Subject: Re: [ot_caving] Personal Hygiene Tip - NO MORE DEODORANT Here are some pretty armpit photos: http://www.visualdxhealth.com/searchResults/adult_Male_Armpit.htm I have some very tiny skin protrusions growing under my arms that are annoying.

RE: [ot_caving] Personal Hygiene Tip - NO MORE DEODORANT
I concur with Don, Dave.
Suck it up and nip 'em!
As John Brooks can attest to, those of us who are "folically-challenged" and
shave our heads usually encounter this at first.
I used to have a couple of moles on my head that proved to be a detriment to
shaving. After a couple of early morning shavings and not being quite awake and
alert, I would accidentally plane them down and they would bleed for a while.
The problem has now taken care of itself and they no longer exist.
C'mon! Live dangerously and always use a Mach III and a little TP.
Think of the $$ you'll save. That'll buy quite a few lights!

Aw come on David! Be a man!
I used to have some skin tags in that area - but I (somehow) managed to snag
one and tear it. That did hurt for a while but only because it was a
protracted 'wound' until it finally crusted up and I yanked the rest of it off
with a pair of tweezers.
The other two or three, I cut off with small diagonal cutters ('dikes' or wire
cutters).
Actually, using wire tools to cut skin off your body without anesthetics is
exhilarating!
You think it's really REALLY going to hurt, but almost as a bodily
over-compensation - you'll probably feel quite a rush of endorphins afterwards.
They'll bleed for a little while but they won't grow back. And it doesn't
really hurt that much.
(Get them now before they get much larger.)

For additional information on the deodorant topic, see the following in Snopes: http://www.snopes.com/medical/toxins/antiperspirant.asp List-Post: texascavers@texascavers.com Date: Wed, 3 Dec 2008 14:16:08 -0600From: wavycaver@gmail.comTo: ot@texascavers.comSubject: [ot_caving] Personal Hygiene Tip - NO MORE DEODORANT(I know this is a topic which most people would typically keep to themselves, but as far as airing personal issues in public - but I wouldn't be the first to do so...And this has some positive information that others might actually benefit from!)You've probably seen a post or article somewhere on the net about a link between breast cancer and underarm deodorant.Well, I know I have.As it would happen, the other day I'm chatting with my neighbor - who asked me what I'd been doing today - I'd just got back from buying groceries and it struck me - crap, I forgot about something. I told him "I just got back from shopping - but darnit - I forgot to buy deodorant - I'm out". He said - "I never use that stuff". WHAT? I'm like - "how do you get away with that? I've never ever been able to smell you from a distance!" He said - "No, I use limes. One lime can keep me from being stinky for two or three days"So I looked it up on the net and didn't find anything except for lime scented deodorants.Undaunted, I bought 14 little key limes at HEB for $1 and decided to give it a try.After showering, I cut one tiny lime in half - squeezed the juice out of one half in the palm of my hand - rubbed the juice between my hands and then slathered my armpits in lime juice.That's been a couple of weeks ago and I haven't put one microgram of aluminum chlorhydrate under my arms. I think this is great!I'm not sure which is cheaper - but I'm pretty darn confident that raw, unadulterated lime juice is way better to use on your body than a pasty stick composed of a chemical cocktail. Plus - you can always find limes in Mexico!-WaV
