Personal Hygene and Circumsision
Hello all.
Firstly I'd like to say that this is the best Bike Travel site by far, I've been lurking here and there but keep coming back to this as its the most informative and open, generally just great!
Secondly, may I apologise about the subject of my very first thread, its not meant to be funny or offending, but dead serious.
I've done severaly African trips in the past and am in the process of planning my Big One, 5 year RTW on a one-off Diesel Engined bike. My goal mileage is 200k miles taking in as many countries as possible, what actually happens will probably be totally different, I never really set my plans in stone.
My question about hygene is this.
During my trip there will no doubt be long periods when washing will not be a massive priority or will not be that easy. Through experience of past travels I've easily gone for a good two weeks without a proper Bath oir shower but made do with a "Wipe down"
I was curious if any other fellow travellers out there have considered of even had a Circumsision for hygene purposes.
I am prone to bad bouts of Thrush if I dont keep a strict Bathing regime and am considering circumsicion to ward off the dreaded itch.
I've not done any travelling since I developed this recurring Curse of few years ago.
Any thoughts or experience would be greatly apreciated.
Cheers, and hope to get to know some great people through this site.
Steve
P.s ,sorry is this Thread offends anybody.
