I had questions on monastic hygiene in Theravada: 1) Do monks/nuns brush their teeth and put on deodorant etc.? 2) If monks/nuns are only allowed to bathe every 2 weeks, how do they deal with the health concerns, or are there none? 3) Do monks/nuns wear the same robes for long periods of time and if so, are there any health concerns to doing such a thing?
