In the current Corona climate, one of our main topics of conversation has been *understandably* washing hands (for 2 rounds of Happy Birthday). This got me thinking about the history of soap - For who figured out a certain liquid or material got germs off of you anyhow? And what person in pre-microscope times decided to whip up a substance that’d kill germs they could NOT yet see? 

Investigation mode, ON.
