Teachers bemoan curse of the 'Lynx effect'

A nice story from the Education Guardian : -

Dozens of teachers have complained to the Times Educational Supplement online staffroom about the menace of the "Lynx effect" - teenage armpits doused in the stuff.
Messages indicate that although the Lynx habit often starts in primary school, 13-year-olds are the worst culprits.
The potent aroma even drives some staff to open windows when pupils return from PE, because they find it hard to breathe.
One teacher commented: "My son is in Year 9, and reeks of the vile stuff. Is Year 9 when they discover girls?"
Another in her early 20s wrote: "About a year ago I made my boyfriend stop using Lynx because he smelled like a Year 9. It took a bit of persuading."
