Episode 26: The History of Hand Washing and the Irish Potato Famine

<p>This week, we are dropping early because everyone is quarantined, self-isolating, learning how we introverts live, whatever you want to call it. Or they are saying "this is all a HOAX" and going about their lives, so...</p> <p>Mattie talks about the history of hand washing. It's actually a lot more in-depth (and upsetting) than she ever knew. Vaccines have been around longer than hand washing guidelines. And you would not BELIEVE when hand washing became standard in medicine, food service, and daily life!</p> <p>We WERE going to do a St. Patrick's Day episode, so Austin talks about the Irish Potato Famine and how it actually isn't that different from how things remain today. Ireland is a pretty neat place, though, and they remember their past. </p> <p>Follow us on all of our socials:</p> <p><a href='/onthetestpod/episode/facebook.com/onthetestpod'>Facebook</a></p> <p><a href='/onthetestpod/episode/twitter.com/onthetestpod'>Twitter</a></p> <p><a href='/onthetestpod/episode/instagram.com/onthetestpod'>Instagram</a></p> <p>and at <a href='/onthetestpod/episode/onthetestpod.com'>www.onthetestpod.com</a></p>
