- The Thirsty Brain episode of Paleo Magazine Radio is here.
- This week’s topic: How often should you shower?
- I’ve determined that a 105 degree shower is actually pretty typical. And Stacy’s 95 degree showers are cold for most people. Also, neither are probably killing bacteria.
- It was actually Queen Elizabeth who took the monthly bath, but bathing habits essentially did not change from the fall of the Romans to the 20th century. Bathing once a month was a sign of luxury.
- Wiki has a great, well referenced article on body odor and sexual attraction. Including the link between ovulation and smell.
- The Witches, that wonderful Roald Dahl documentary
- While hot showers won’t kill all parasites, it is shown to kill and wash off parasites in general, helping to keep them from becoming a problem.
- How does soap work?
- Human skin temperature
- Here is the dubious Mother Dirt Probiotic soap
