    As a nursing assistant I was taught to never touch the knob to turn off the water after I washed my hands. Instead wash your hands, then grab a paper towel, dry your hands, then use the paper towel to turn the water off.

      I recall visiting Paris when I was 13 with our live in nanny, who was French and from Paris. She was wonderful and I just loved it. She took me to the Eifal Tower and I recall clearly the public toilet was a hole in the ground, one was to stand up on a platform with a hole in the middle. I was truly grossed out by it. It seemed extremely unhygienic and so primitive to me.

    • @andreamuller9009
      @andreamuller9009 27 дней назад +2

      By the way, soap is very easy to make... if you know how.
      You only need two ingredients. ash lye and fat (any fat, this can be vegetable oil or animal fat)
      First you pour water over the ash (preferably wood ash) and then filter the liquid (that's the ash lye) and then you stir in the fat.... a chemical reaction occurs... it gets warm, so be careful. ..you can pour it into a mold, it will then solidify.
      So, it's not magic, it's really very simple.
      In the Middle Ages, people even saved the fat and only used ash lye, because we also have fat on our skin and if you wash it off quickly with water, it won't damage the skin.
      By the way, I believe that the Romans also knew this step, using only the lye without fat, and that would mean that they did not use urine to wash their clothes, because urine not only has the property of destroying the fibers, but also has a bleaching effect.. .. ash lye is much gentler and easy and cheap and can be produced in large quantities .... and ash is always produced when cooking.
      Back then, people weren't so stupid as to destroy clothes that had been painstakingly made; things like that had to last a long time.
      Urine was the bleaching agent that tanners used and dyers needed urine to dye blue, for example.

That said at least one of the other narrators is getting better, he is finding his own pacing... The other narrators will improve over time as they find what works for them.

    Native Americans have ALWAYS gone to water, bathing and communicating with the Great Spirit each and every day, come rain or shine, in summer or winter. They were considered dirty and savage because of this practice by the Europeans, who brought along smallpox and a multitude of other diseases to the indigenous population. 😢

    While we undoubtedly are lucky to have higher standards of hygiene today than in the past, it's not like those victorian people didn't think themselves lucky to have cesspits instead of having to dodge emptying chamberpots.
    I'm sure in 200 years there will be something similar about how early 21st century was a horrible time to live in with high air pollution and nasty splashing toilets without inertial dampening or whatever the standards are then.
