The epidemic has led us to be even more attentive to our health. If before we did not consider many ailments, now nothing escapes us. It is enough to have tired eyes to set off the alarm.
Having cold hands and feet also makes us uncomfortable and we rightly want to get to the bottom. Not to mention hygiene. And not just in washing our hands continuously. Not that we weren’t clean people before, but it is clear that the level of attention has risen and by much after the virus outbreak.
That’s why when we smell strange smells coming from our body, we feel upset. We are careful to clean ourselves well, yet something is not right. For example, if we have a navel that smells of cheese, we would do well to be vigilant.
