This reminds me----------I read my last issue (ever, as I'm not renewing) of Dr Jonathan Wright's newsletter. He talked about an email he received from a male reader who told him about this variation on zinc oxide as a deodorant. He told Wright that he rubbed it under his arms at night and he took his shower in the morning. Said the deodorant effect lasted up to 3 days (maybe he lives at the N Pole?) Anyway, Wright was intrigued enough to try this himself and verified that it was, indeed, a great deodorant.
