Ax's hygiene
« on: March 09, 2011, 09:50:56 AM »
Okay, don't grimace. It's a legitimate question.

Ax lives alone in the woods. And anyone who has been up close with a horse, a deer, (we have a Deer Park in my hometown) or any other animal that generaly lives in the woods knows that they have a bit of an...*ahem* odor. We know that Andalites are generally very prim and proper and probably bathe quite often on the Andalite homeworld. So how does Ax maintain his freshness?

I figure the Animorphs take turns doing his laundry, since we know Jake and Marco lend him clothes. And Marco gave him flea powder at somepoint for fleas. Does he bathe in the traditional sense, or does he rub fragrant flowers in his fur?

It seems like an interesting part of his day that KA left out.

I figure if Ax wants to do something more than just wash in the river, he goes to Cassie. She can lend him whatever he needs.

I think some things aren't really integral to the main story and don't really need to go into great explanation. This probably falls into that category.

And yet we have a number of such discussions going on at any given time, with no one forcing anyone to post if they don't want to contribute to it.

Actually this is a great question, since most animal grooming tends to involve a mouth.

How much an oder they put off I guess is questionable- Ax certainly doesn't think they stink, and I don't know how much they sweat.
Also does morphing help: I know it's exhausting, but if you run 5 miles, morph and demorph, are you less grody? Don't know

I would amuse an occasional dip in the river, but really beyond that, it's a puzzler

no I'm just saying that that's the reason K.A. probably left it out.

     Obviously he uses deodorant. I always thought he'd be an Axe man...

would morphing get rid of any bad odors that plagued him?

Ax probably bathed in the river, borrowing soap and brushes from Cassie's farm. We know he has a "scoop" that he lives in, and this living space probably became more and more complex over time, while still being completely collapsible/able to be hidden.

     I figured it out: Andalites are so superior that they are above sweating. Either that, or they have superior sweat glands.

     Superior something.

Morphing doesn't get rid of some stuff like blood or meat in your teeth. I believe these things have been mentioned in the series.

Sometimes. Jake mentioned that sometimes the morphing doesn't get rid of blood, but I can't imagine they all spent that many nights coming home drenched in bloody gym clothing.
