One of life's few certainties is that every few months, the internet will erupt with discourse over personal hygiene.
From whether or not people wash their legs in the shower to how often they bathe their children, social media means that — for better or worse — we now have a completely unfiltered insight into the world’s cleansing habits.
And on Saturday, NFL star Jason Kelce kicked off the latest debate when he shared his belief that it is only “necessary” to wash “hot spots” on your body regularly.
Somebody then replied: “Fun fact - there was a ‘study’ done where they measured the amount of bacteria between those who actively scrub/wash their legs/feet, vs those who didn’t and there was more bacteria on those who actively washed their legs/feet.”
Jason’s choice to use the term “diabolical lies” was seemingly a nod to his fellow football star Harrison Butker’s controversial speech about women being homemakers, which sparked controversy last month.
And Jason’s tweet caused a pretty big stir of its own, with it being viewed more than four million times as thousands of other X users flocked to share their response.
Some were particularly concerned with Jason’s stance because of his incredibly active profession, with the star announcing his retirement from football earlier this year.
