If you are using deodorant but not showering, body odor is noticeable at a radius of approximately 1 foot per day.

You found volunteers to not shower for you? Ick. Double ick if they did unprompted.

Yes... that's exactly what happened.

This is really useful research. I am not being facetious. Is there a journal that would publish such a thing?

My "research" would not stand up to peer review, but I concur that more serious research would be genuinely useful.

In case it was unclear, the last statement was a joke. Periodically when I haven't had time to shower in a few days I ask friends "hey, I haven't showed in a few days. Tell me when you can start to smell me" and then step slowly towards them. I'm reasonably certain that they answered honestly.
