VIDEO: Did you know that the concept of WASHING YOUR HANDS was invented in VIENNA?!! A-WHAAAAT?!

Did you know that the concept of washing our hands was actually invented by somebody? We had no f**** idea! We also didn’t know, until our super smart historian friend told us, that the idea of washing our hands regularly to reduce the spread of disease was invented in Vienna!

Go ahead and pull this fun fact out at your next dinner date.

With the ‘WASH YOUR HANDS’ call to arms being a part of our daily Coronavirus-infested lives lately, in this episode of Vienna’s History Mysteries we explore who this clean genius inventor was. Introducing the Hungarian doctor, Ignaz Semmelweis – the inventor that started the whole wash your hands trend 😉
