Just thinking about the hygiene of those times -- the logistics of personal hygiene -- oh man. It just grosses me out. Could these bodily smells and fungus and sores and ugh! Could they have been so immune to that? Yes, everyone was a hot mess, but distasteful smells and weeping sores are repugnant no matter when you lived. Right? Right?
Agreed. Just think of what people 500 years from now will think about our habits.

And the fact that the peasants in the cities would just open a window and dump their Fecal buckets onto the streets below and splatter whomever was walking nearby. And this is your home! This is where you live! People come to visit you and have to step over steaming flies. If anything, I would take my bucket and dump it by the guy living in the van down by the river. Not outside my home. My home.

Ewwww… that reminds me of the new Poop Map that recently came out where it shows it's not safe to wear new shoes anywhere in San Francisco.
