Sonic showers would clean dirt from you, but you'd still stink. (yiffit.net)

Was just thinking about this while taking a boring regular shower with water. A sonic shower just vibrates at high intensity to pulverize dirt and knock it from your body; but what about oils and lipids and all that other stuff that makes you stinky?

On a side note, I realized that the only time any dental care is brought up, it's with the ferengi. The race with quite possibly the worst teeth in the galaxy are the only ones seen using cleaning utensils on them.

The teleporter is already at the edge of their technological capabilities anyway, to the point they have to resort to some hacks to make it work.

ST PicardLike keeping "common biology" like common DNA sections in the transporter's firmware to not have to care about all individual aspects.

And this is even without accounting for malfunctions. Can you imagine eating the wrong vegetable and ending up tuvixed with poop?
