In the Elizabethan Era they did not have indoor toilets. They also did not have any toilet paper so they had to use leafs, grass, or hay depending on their situation.
In conclusion The Elizabethan Era was a terrible place to live in because it was an unhygienic environment to live in. It was so bad that the average life span was around forty.
The were 2 types of plague in the Elizabethan Era
The Bubonic plague, an infection of the Lymphatic system, killed 25,000,000 Europeans, but if you survived the plague you then became immune to it.
The Pneumonic plague is more intense and severe than the bubonic plague. It is also rarer than the Bubonic Plague. The Pneumonic plague is an infection in the lungs and the respiratory system. Most Pneumonic plagues originate from Bubonic plagues, for example when you inhale tiny droplets of Bubonic plague water it then becomes Pneumonic.
Used natural ingredient such as herbs for medicine because of limited availability of resources. We had many deceases and cures to them. Poor people could not do much apart from rely from the help of churches when the rich people had doctors
1) It was rare for people to take showers or bathes. Rich people who had luxury houses only bathed maybe twice a week.
2) People who were in the lower class (the majority of the people) only bathed a few times a year making the hygiene very poor during these times.
3) When people bathed it would be in a wooden tub usually next to a fire to keep the water as warm as possible. The water used in these tubs where likely slightly dirty so even if you bathed you still would not be totally clean.
Sewage was dumped right outside of houses without people coming to take them to the dump. This started attracting flies, maggots, rats, and cockroaches which created a bad environment. Not only did it make a bad environment and terrible smell but it also brought many diseases and plagues to the cities.
People in the Elizabethan Era rarely brushed their teeth. Their toothpaste was made of honey, salt burned to ashes, pomegranate peel, and red peach blossom. The majority of people used plain sugar and honey. This must have had a sweet taste and encouraged people to clean their teeth but it made their teeth even worse. Than their teeth were cleaned by rinsing the mouth with vinegar, water, or wine. After wards they would wipe their teeth with a piece of cloth.
