Reply to comment by Solid-Warning8793 in Why does the armpit smell so different than the other sweaty parts of your body? by haribobosses
To me it’s more like the jungle is different than the woodland.
Rival bacteria is precisely the point. Clearly a specific bacteria can come to dominate an armpit that never has a chance elsewhere.
I want to know why. What makes the armpit better suited than the crotch for that particular BO smell.

Well armpits constantly sweat providing higher moisture. While crotch does not always sweat constantly.

Interesting. Conjecture or researched fact?

Researched. It should be in the sweat glands section of physiology textbooks

So with enough sweat I can get my balls to smell like BO?
