Amanda Knox’s lax hygiene was covered for months in her trial. Amanda Knox’ lax hygiene detailed by Italian prosecutors sounds like a medical term. But it is not.
Rather in saying lax hygiene, the suggestion is that Amanda Knox was loose, not strict, or slacking in maintaining her hygiene. Lax is not a medical term associated with hygiene but simply a qualifier suggesting perhaps “slack in maintaining discipline”. Personal hygiene, culinary, and body hygiene are three different things. It appears from the prosecution’s claims the assertion was that Knox was lacking in body hygiene.
Body hygiene concerns the cleanliness of your own body - washing of your body, hand washing, brushing and flossing of the teeth, etc.Prosecutors went into details about Knox’s lax hygiene because it would reportedly anger Kercher.
