Also while camping...
Kids went in swimming, stood in the shallow water for a while, came out covered in leeches.

Even though they went back into the water the rest of the week, there was no way I was going in. (Since then, I've overcome that squeemishness... I've gone wading in certain waters, knowing full well that I was going to have a few leeches on me when I exited.)

When I moved into my last house, the well dried up so we had no water for about 3-4 days.

Those results to me are a bit distrubing :eek:
I chose 2 days.
For me, bathing is a necessity just like food and air. I NEED to bathe.
Even when camping, i make sure to take a bathe in the lake or community showers or whatever.

5 days, each of those days being at work. We would have weekly meeting and weekly group 45 minute meetings as well. I worked in a cubicle so it wasn't that noticeable.
Either that or my neighbour was being really nice about it, heh. :laugh:

Went on a camping trip in New Mexico and hiked 100 miles and didn't take a shower for about 7 days. We weren't allowed to wear deodorant also because it would attract bears or so they said!!

Voted 3 but really not 100% sure. If I go 2 days I notice my head starts to itch and hair gets greasy and such so I try to never go more than 2 and will only even do that if it's a weekend and I'm not leaving the house.

About 1 week but I was camping with no access. 3 days is the longest under normal conditions and I really haven't done that since college party days
