It’s hand washing day! Now only found on a Hungarian or Austrian postage stamp, but Ignaz Semmelweis (1818 – 1865) played an important role in the beginning of hand washing.
The Hungarian doctor was concerned about maternal fever at the time and linked it to the unsanitary practices in the hospital where he worked. Semmelweis demanded that everyone wash their hands in bleach before carrying out any examinations in the maternity ward.
Many years later we now know the importance of good hygiene and we have beautiful hand soap products Available!
