Like it says in the article though, its only been in recent decades that we shower on a daily basis anyway

when I was growing up it was normal to have a WEEKLY bath (no showers back then unless it was in the gym) and "strip washes" the rest of the week, its only recently that people have been so fastidious, that's why the water bills are so high, maybe??

I like to give my hands a good scrub whenever I've been working outside, a couple of infected blackthorn splinters gave me a lot of pain in my knuckles until I managed to get the tips of the thorns out. A good scrub and then inspection means I can get them out before the skin closes up behind them and infection sets in.

Only dirty people get washed !!!
