[BlindTlk] visually impaired people not caring about personal hygine..

[Don Mitchell]

Has there ever been an independent study done on hygiene among blind people?
I know that we, as a blind society, would like to believe that we are on a
par with sighted society on how we attend, or do not attend, to our physical
hygiene? Is it true? Does not seeing our appearance have an effect on how we
attend to hygiene? Since hygiene effects how people are received and can
effect the quality and outcome of social interactions I don't think the
answer to this question should be taken lightly. Does hygiene contribute to
the high rate of unemployment among the blind? Good topic for exploration
and discussion.
