Soldiers sometimes spend weeks, even months, in the field without the chance to wash or shower. Even in peacetime this happens, especially overseas. The longest time I have personally seen is 3 weeks. In hot climates the old skin particles around the crotch and armpits and in the crack of your bum mix with the dirt and sweat to form a foul smelling goo that eventually gets infected and attacks the flesh and turns it "proud", that is red, inflamed and very itchy turning to painful.

Fishes' fins turn whitish and die back. Fin rot often follows damage or injury. It can also be caused by poor water quality. Remedy: First, fix the water and remove any fin-nipping fish. Change some water (25% is good) and add 1 tsp/gallon salt to promote healing. If bad water quality or an aggressive tankmate was the problem, that should be adequate. Healing will begin within a couple of days. If it worsens, decide first whether it's fungal or bacterial. See similar questions...

Contrary to popular usage, dry rot does not mean rot that can happen in dry wood, or wood that has rotted and dried out. Dry rot is a specific kind of fungus, although the term is very commonly misused to describe all wood rot. This is unfortunate, because it disassociates rot from moisture. Wood rot always requires moisture, and the key to wood durability is the control of moisture. Wood that rotted long ago and is now dry was moist at the time of the rot. See similar questions...

Laserdiscs are subject to what's commonly called laser rot: the deterioration of the aluminum layer due to oxidation. The large size of laserdiscs makes them flexible, so that movement along the bond between sides can break the seal. Like laserdiscs, DVDs are made of two platters glued together, but DVDs are more rigid and use newer adhesives. Also, DVDs are molded from polycarbonate, which absorbs about ten times less moisture than the PMMA used for laserdiscs. See similar questions...

sharable link ] Usually, no. Empty corpses will probably time out. There may be other criteria that causes a corpse to eventually rot, but at this point we don't think that will be necessary and they are persistent. sharable link ] If you die on the surface of the water, both ship flotsam (corpses) and character corpses will float on top of the water and not move/drift. Doing a CR (corpse retrieval) on the water will be functionally the same as anywhere else. See similar questions...

Oak is famous for its durability against rot and infestation and so doesn't need special treatments. Some people like to apply oak oil (boiled linseed oil) in their oak beams to slow up the drying process, but this is purely a matter of personal choice. Softwoods supplied by us are pressure treated against both rot and infestation. See similar questions...

Some laserdiscs are prone to deterioration over time due to "laser rot:" chemical contaminants or gasses trapped inside LDs during their manufacture gradually damage the disk's data layer. A disk with laser rot may play fine when new, but later develop playback problems like skipping or picture degradation. Laser rot is not visible when looking at the disk's surface - if your LD seems to be afflicted, make sure it isn't dirty or scratched and try it in other players. See similar questions...

CD rot, also known as CD bronzing, has been an issue with certain discs manufactured from the late 1980s to the early 1990s. [17] A thin layer of lacquer on the label side of the disc protects the reflective data layer. In CD-ROMs and Audio CDs — Compact Disc Digital Audio (CDDA) — the reflective data layer is normally aluminum. If the lacquer is damaged, applied improperly, or formulated incorrectly then the reflective data layer may become exposed, leading to aluminum corrosion. See similar questions...

Blossom end rot shows a lack of calcium in the fruit. Calcium is a nutrient. The most common reason that it isn't in the tomato is because it isn't in the soil. Lime adds calcium to the soil but it takes about 6 months. Gypsum adds calcium but it takes a few weeks. Lime for next year. Blossom end rot can also occur if the calcium doesn't have a steady source of water to carry the calcium up to the tomato. Regular watering helps more calcium get up to the plant.

Yes. With traditional stick building moisture can become trapped within the open cavity of a wood stud wall, causing mold, mildew and rot problems. Since ICF's are closed cavity construction, there is no place for moisture to accumulate. In addition, foam, rebar and concrete are resistant to mold and mildew. See similar questions...
