Dandruff...
I did some traveling this past weekend that involved airports with interconnecting flights, museums and sporting events. I passed through Atlanta, Georgia and much of my vacation was in Ohio. Dayton and a day in Columbus.I noticed people... lots of people.
While the weather was very good (by any standard) we had a little drizzle rain and cool temperatures the first few days then amazing sunny, clear that went from freezing in the early morning to mid 60's (Fahrenheit) in the afternoon. I wore a long-sleeve polo with a jeans jacket and never felt cold. We went to a high-school soccer game on a cold night and those kids were in normal long sleeved pullovers with no additional coats. The spectators mostly had winter coats
It's safe to say that in cold climates, people tend to shower less often than people in hot climates. Fortunately, I didn't get a whiff of someone who's 38 hour antibacterial soap quit working. I did see something unexpected... lots of guys with dandruff. It shows up on dark clothing.
Up until this trip, I would have thought dandruff would have faded away like leprosy, where you've only heard stories and seen photos, but never had a close encounter with a leper.
Treatments for dandruff are everywhere. It's in shampoos, topical liquids... Listerine mouthwash is said to cure dandruff. So, there's no excuse.

Knowing that and allowing to go untreated is a sign of bad hygiene that could lead to other issues, like Seborrheic dermatitis dandruff that is more serious.
Also, Malassezia, a type of yeast, or fungus causes dandruff.
So, allowing it to happen and possibly get worse (in my opinion) is bad hygiene.
When I was around 19/20 I remember my pal had a dog named 'Dandruff'. My dog was named 'Shadow'. Was the era to name your pets with names that differed from the usual.
