Expert Solution

Step 1

Personal hygiene and public hygiene are important. We all are social animals. We are interacting with our surroundings daily. So keeping our body clean and neat is important. Regular bathing protects our skin from allergies, skin problems, viruses, bacteria, other diseases, etc. It makes us smell good. If someone is not bathing long time or one week makes health issues in his/her body. It creates skin infections and other issues. It not only affects Alex’s body but also causes disturbance among the people surrounding him. It causes bad smells and other issues. But, the action done by Alex’s friend is not good. Instead of sending a bar, they should seek why he never bathe and should give awareness about personal hygiene and cleanliness.
