\\\"Before safe water was available, taking a bath really was more dangerous than remaining dirty. People who bathed were quite literally risking their lives to be clean - a sign of wicked vanity at the time.\\\"

Really? I was under the impression people usually boiled bath water. It\\\'s possible it was too much hassle to get \\\'\\\'clean\\\'\\\' water (or to get enough water) to bother with regular baths, but I can\\\'t see how safety would be an issue.
