2. I think the fabric might be good for

Someone backpacking for multiple days or on a long trek. Maybe astronauts? The clothing design would have to change, but the bacteria might work for certain purposes.

3. perhaps we are headed tpwards a future of distopian drought

where only the rich can afford a shower and where a lake or ocean are restricted to the affluent.

4. That idea was invented about 10-15 years ago. And it began with horses rolling around in mud.

Way, way back I saw the documentary how it all began.

There was a biologist who noticed that horses would carefully sniff the ground on a lawn. Once they had found a specific spot, they would roll around on the ground on exactly that spot. And somehow all the horses did that.

So, he took a soil-sample and found bacteria living in it. Those bacteria feed on IIRC ammonia. The stuff that makes sweat smell bad.

He diluted the bacteria in water, sprayed them on his skin, and from then on he never again smelled bad. No more deodorants necessary.

5. I would love this on the farm

when it is so darned hot anymore. I reek and shower a few times a day if I have to do anything causing dry skin and using too much water. It would be awesome for those of us who have outdoor, sweaty jobs. It would be good in the winter too when you have to wear so many layers. You do eventually end up sweating. It might keep your clothes in better shape too? I would give it a try but they probably cost way too much.
