Dr. Anthony Rossi shares his thoughts on the subject. Dr. Rossi is an assistant attending dermatologist at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center in New York City and a fellow of the American Academy of Dermatology so he knows his stuff!
“Our beliefs about clothing hygiene are largely “societal and cultural,” said Dr. Anthony “People tend to over wash and ‘over hygiene’ themselves, because especially in America, we have the luxury of being able to do all that stuff all the time.”
Experts worldwide are weighing in on the subject. “There are a few types that should be washed after every use: underwear, socks, tights, leggings and activewear. “This advice also applies to any other clothes with stains, sweat, odor or visible dirt,” said Manal Mohammed, a senior lecturer of medical microbiology at the University of Westminster in London.
The medical community seems to spend a lot of time on this subject. I guess they must have already cured cancer.
