Of Lice and Men: Hygiene in the Colonial Era #Hygiene #ColonialAmerica #History #InterestingHistory #America #FunFacts In the colonial era, hygiene was a peculiar beast, far removed from what we know today. Life, be it in burgeoning cities or quaint rural settlements, played out to a unique symphony of smells. Bathing was more a matter of convenience, with a pail of water and a cloth as your luxury. Homes did without indoor plumbing, so outhouses and simple holes in the ground were common, inviting unwelcome guests like dysentery and cholera. People often donned the same clothes for many days, only adding to the medley of odors. Tooth troubles were usually 'resolved' through extraction, and one's fashionable wig was more often than not a cozy dwelling for lice. Truly, cleanliness in colonial America was a far cry from today's standards. #BathingPractices #HistoricalFact #FunnyHistory #Outhouses #DentalHygiene #ToothDecay #Diseases #Smells #OldTimes #Wigs #Lice #Infestation #Clothing #ColonialLife #RuralSettlements #CityLife #AmericanHistory #ColonialEra #SmellyPast #FunFacts #HistoryLesson #BizarreFacts #OldWorldCharm #UnseenAmerica #LivedExperience #UnexpectedTruths
