Bad feet smell is one of the nightmares of travelers, there are times when someone slips off his shoes and the whole passengers of the plane have to suffer for it.
Certainly, when traveling, you don’t have much room to pack several shoes, so you end up wearing the same shoes every day, the thing that causes bad feet odor.
However, what you need to do is to pack at least an additional shoe to the one you are wearing, this way you’ll be able to let one pair air out while using the other.
Obviously, we are not going to tell you that you need to wash your feet or change your socks; we will leave that to your better judgment.
Sweat
The airport and the plane can be stressful places sometimes. And one of the ways in which our body reacts to stress is by producing sweat.
What makes matters worse is the fact that the sweat caused by stress is by far nastier than the regular one.
The Apocrine glands – that produce sweat engendered by stress- attract more smell-causing bacteria than in the case of sweat caused by physical effort. Therefore, try to pack a strong deodorant with you in order to eliminate the bad odor.
Illness
With the number of people who travel by plane each year, it becomes what can only be described as a “bacteria factory.” There is always a chance that you may end up being sick due to the germs hanging around in the cabin.
Sometimes, no matter how much precautions you take, you may pick up a cold or have an allergic reaction that leaves you with bad breath.
Therefore, when you start feeling the symptoms, think about brushing your teeth and using mouth wash to make the bad breath vanish.
