Hi all
I work in a patient care environment and there are at least 3 colleagues who must be suffering with gum disease etc. One lady I work very closely with and I’m finding it hard to cope because she talks right in my face and spits when she talks... her breath will fill the room however she is totally oblivious to the smell. If you know you have bad breath you would surely keep a distance wouldn’t you?
Then another one who’s breathe stinks and her teeth are covered in plaque... she’s also told me she only baths once a week... she actually smells... like her body odour is awful. It’s like greasy hair smell, bo and bad breath filling the air around her.
My question is do these people know that they smell and just don’t care? With the smelly breath I understand some people can’t do anything about that but what about the ones who just don’t wash. They smell a whole room out and the managers aren’t saying anything. I actually don’t really care about bo much but the smell of someone’s filthy teeth make me want to actually be sick.
Does anyone have any tips or do other people have colleagues like this?
Thank you
