Hygiene's Dirty History: Urine MouthWash & More

In this episode of Oh Gross, Jennie plays: a rapid-fire game with Kara that takes listeners through the grossest hygiene habits in human history. From ancient civilizations swimming in sewage, to Romans sharing communal butt sponges,—nothing is off the table. The hosts dig into why bathing was once considered dangerous, how urine became mouthwash, where June weddings really came from, and how humanity somehow got cleaner… then dirtier… then cleaner again. If you love history and discovering just how gross “the good old days” really were, this episode is for you.
