[pct-l] deodorant

[Bill Burge]

Another option is to skip a deodorant that is just perfumy.

I use this stuff on a daily basis (allergic to many perfumes).  It's  
minerals salts  http://www.thecrystal.com/  in solid form, it's not  
very big (you can save a chunk from the one you're using) and all you  
have to do is rub it on wet.  It doesn't smell, leak, or weigh much.   
It lasts a LONG time.  The regular deodorant stick sized one lasts  
over a year.  You can use it anywhere you want to kill bacterial  
growth - feet are a prime point.
