The Most Fashionable Women in 1720 Had Mice Living In Their Hair (And Knew About It)
Not a metaphor. Actual mice.The most elaborate hairstyles in 18th century Paris took weeks to build and months to take down. So nobody took them down. The pomade went rancid. The powder crusted. Things moved in. Women dealt with this using a purpose-built mouse trap worn directly in the hair.This is the story of four people on one morning in 1720 — an aristocrat with a two-foot hairstyle and a small wildlife problem, a wigmaker slowly poisoning himself with mercury and not knowing it, a market girl who is accidentally the cleanest person in this video, and a surgeon who figured out something completely correct about handwashing and whose career never recovered from saying it out loud.Same morning. Four heads of hair. Four completely different disasters. #educationalvideo #funfacts #thingsyoudidntknow #mindblowingscience #didyouknow #curiousminds #youtubeeducation #learningsomethingnew #explainedsimply #sciencedocumentary #interestinghistory
