Simple Chronic Bromhidrosis

By Bridget Crawford

If you’re old enough to remember the old Lavoris ads, you probably lived through the cultural moment when the phrase “simple chronic halitosis” entered into common parlance.  And you probably enjoyed this article from the New York Times, warning all of us not to take off our shoes, walk in wet grass and then put our feet back in our shoes.  The likely disaster?  BROMHIDROSIS aka smelly feet.  I can hear my sister’s gales of laughter, just as if it were the 1980’s and we were watching the mouthwash ad.
