Hygiene in the 1800

                 The overall hygiene of the early Americas, ranging from peculiar ailments to modern day maladies that are commonly used today. I felt that the topic of hygiene is regarded as rather taboo in American culture, especially hygiene pertaining to women as well as contraceptives. We tend to turn a blind eye when it comes to these things out of "shame" for bodily functions and personally feel as if these trends should stop.
