You may find it interesting to learn the first national hand hygiene guidelines were not published until the 1980s
- bluGill 3y agoThere was plenty of other hygiene guidelines before then. National things are easy to track, but tend to be late.
- hammock 3y agoWould be interested to see a source showing a guideline of wiping down surfaces from hundreds of years ago
- bluGill 3y agoI doubt you would find one. 100 years ago doctors were just accepting that hand washing before surgery was a good idea. I'm not sure what the oldest source of general washing you will find is, probably 1950s. You will find biblical references to hand washing dating back several thousands years, but i'm not sure you count that
