People vary enormously in this, because people vary enormously in the strains of bacteria living on
their bodies.
I once, briefly, had a problem with this. I spoke to my doctor. He pointed me toward some
anti-bacterial soap, I used it as directed (and, as directed, replaced all undershirts with new ones
to prevent re-colonization) and the problem went away.
Listerine antiseptic also does the same trick.
