Daniel Larson's Hygiene

Daniel is very visibly unhygienic, with oily and dead skin all over his face. As a result of his hatred for showers and overall lack of care, Daniel's health has been severely impacted by his hygiene. Such examples include Daniel's trench foot, dental issues, and scabies.

Daniel's hatred of showers

A possible explanation for Daniel hates showers because of how they feel. The most common symptom of autism is sensory issues, which makes certain textures or sensations feel uncomfortable or sometimes painful for autistic individuals, but most make an effort to clean themselves. However, he will tolerate his skin feeling sticky as a result of the dirt, sweat, and oil he refuses to rinse off, as well as a smell if he really hasn't for a while.

While out with Brink and Brink's friends, Daniel was asked if he wanted to try and shower to which Daniel replied "I'm good". Brink and friends told him that it's so that he could get his hair cut, implying that his hair is so "well worn" that they don't dare bring him into a barbershop. Daniel gets visibly uncomfortable during the questioning.

First shower

After not having showered since living with Jonas, Daniel was finally convinced to do so by Brink on July 7th, 2022. Along with the shower Brink also helped Daniel purchase some "new" clothes.

On May 23rd, 2023, Daniel was asked on his YouTube community tab when he last bathed, which he revealed he hasn’t showered since 2022.
