I just started as an EMT in a warm climate. While on my third training shift, my FTO pulled me aside and politely informed me that I smelled bad. He said it wasn't necessary B.O., but rather sweat. I am a rather husky fellow who sweats a lot.
I've tried changing shirts mid shift, covering my torso with baby powder, axe spray, and using a towel as a neck roll to absorb the sweat (which I change out after every call).
Any suggestions to keep me from getting the reputation as the EMT who smells worse than the homeless patients?
