Daniel Larson's Hygiene

Daniel is very visibly unhygienic, with oily and dead skin all over his face. With Daniel getting scabies, wearing the same clothes day after day, and not taking showers (even before he was homeless) it is clear that he does not take very good care of his hygiene. Becoming homeless certainly did not make things easier. Now on top of all of that, Daniel can only access showers at the gym and beach. Every fan that has interacted with Daniel in person has mentioned how terrible he smelled.

Daniel's health has been severely impacted by his hygiene. For example Daniel has had trench foot, dental issues, and scabies.

Daniel's hatred of showers

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. Daniel hates showers because of how they feel, and as a result, refuses to take them. However he will tolerate his skin feeling sticky as a result of the dirt, sweat, and oil he refuses to rinse off, and clearly lost all senses of smell.

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.
