Mud baths are popular, and rich people pay a whole lot of money just to go to spas and resorts to soak and bathe in mud. Elephants also enjoy bathing in squishy mud baths - just as much as rich people do. However, elephants are much smarter than rich people, so they take their mud baths in the great outdoors and pay . . . nothing! Additionally, elephants like to stay caked with mud because the mud acts as a protective coating to reduce sunburns.

Handwashing Song
Wash, wash, wash your hands,
Clean them both the same,
Between the fingers, front and back,
Until germs go down the drain!
By Author Unknown (can be sung to the same tune as that of the song, “Row, Row, Row Your Boat”)
Proper Handwashing
1. Wet hands with water.
2. Apply soap.
3. Lather hands, wrists, and lower part of forearms with soap.
4. Scrub thoroughly for half a minute.
5. Rinse with water.
6. Dry.
Ivory bar soap, known for possessing the property of floating in water, was created by accident. A worker in a factory left the soap-making machinery running too long, which caused tiny air bubbles to form in the soap. Customers who bought bars of soap made from this particular batch wrote letters to the manufacturer, saying how much they liked having soap that floated in their bathtubs, and that is the story of how Ivory bar soap came to be the soap that floats.
Young Lady from Crete
There was a young lady from Crete,
Who was so exceedingly neat,
When she got out of bed,
She stood on her head,
To keep from soiling her feet.

Queen Isabella I of Spain, who financed Christopher Columbus’ voyage of discovery to the New World, claimed to have bathed only twice in her lifetime. Even France’s King Louis XIV bathed only once a year. But they were not as strange as people might think, because during their time, attitudes toward bathing were very different from those common today. It just goes to show that we have learned a lot as a species, and we doubtless have much more to learn.

Reasons To Not Wash
If we take the same excuses that people use for not going to church and apply them to other areas of life, we would realize just how inconsistent people can be in their logic.
1. I was forced to as a child.
2. People who make soap are only after your money.
3. I wash on special occasions like Christmas and Easter.
4. People who wash are hypocrites - they think they are cleaner than everyone else.
5. There are so many different kinds of soap; I cannot decide which one is best.
6. I used to wash, but it got boring, so I stopped.
7. None of my friends wash.
8. The bathroom is never warm enough in the winter or cool enough in the summer.
9. I will start washing when I get older and dirtier.
10. I cannot spare the time.

If everyone on Earth took a bath in a single day, the entire supply of fresh water on our planet would become dirty, so it turns out that by staying dirty, some people are helping to ensure that the rest of us have clean water. How considerate of them.

How do animals keep themselves clean? Chickens take baths by flopping around in dirt and dust, which prevents tics, lice, and other bugs from making their permanent homes under the chickens’ feathers. Pigs also keep bugs off themselves by taking mud baths, and caked-on mud has the additional advantage of reducing pigs’ sunlight exposure, because pigs, like humans, can get unpleasant sunburns.

Ablutophobia is a fear of washing or bathing. Most people with the condition learn over time that cleaning oneself is not to be feared; however, for those with a persistent case of the condition, compassionate counseling may be necessary. Because it can be embarrassing, many ablutophobia sufferers find discussing it difficult, and will need genuine understanding and encouragement in overcoming their fear. Ridiculing or teasing them will make the condition worse, and for those who smell bad, they most likely already know they do, so they won’t be helped by being lectured to or scolded about their body odor. Like most fears, ablutophobia can have a real cause, often being rooted in unpleasant or even traumatic experiences. It can also be a symptom of living in extreme poverty or of being in a family or other relationship in which ongoing abuse occurs, and these root causes would need to be addressed in order to help a person overcome ablutophobia. Ablutophobia is derived from the Latin word ‘ablutere’ meaning ‘to wash off’ and the Greek word ‘phobos’ meaning ‘fear.’
