“History has never been this contagious!”
Before soap saved the day, things got really gross.
Plagues. Pus. Pandemics. From the Black Death to COVID-19, Wash Your Hands dives into the nastiest, weirdest, and most unbelievable disease stories in history — all told with a splash of humor and a big dose of “eww!”
Meet kings with leprosy, cooks who spread typhoid, and doctors who thought bad smells caused sickness. You’ll laugh, cringe, and maybe even appreciate your hand sanitizer a little more.
Roll up your sleeves and get ready for:
🦠 Fun (and freaky) facts that’ll make your skin crawl
💀 Outrageous “cures” people actually believed worked
💉 Real heroes who battled germs before science caught up
Because history’s grossest moments might just be its most important — and you’ll never look at handwashing the same way again.
