What about lice?
Which those unwashed 17th century folks undoubtedly had. They were playing host to a swarm of nasty itchy blood suckers.
It's a statement of how far we've come in hygiene that no one has mentioned the parasite issue. I can't believe it is healthy to have lice living on you and sucking your blood.
You might convince me that a non-athletic white collar worker doesn't need a daily bath, but who wants to go back to the days of lice-filled itching and scratching discomfort?
Give me soap any day! (Every day)
