With summer in full swing, I am well behind on yard work. Poison ivy is a problem plant down here. Through the scratching, one exposes broken skin, leading to infection. The deaths in the American Civil War also brought forth an effort to improve cleanliness conditions; The Sanitary Commission. And the building of the Panama canal brought forth an even greater leap forward in cleanliness. How we keep our selves and personal area clean has come a long way to keeping the majority of society healthy.Executive Producers:LadyGetOverItSteve EDameSlamyNoBerethttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Urushiolhttps://sites.wp.odu.edu/medicinecivilwar/sub-topic-1/https://www.civilwarmed.org/explore/bibs/sanitarycommission/http://www.sonofthesouth.net/leefoundation/civil-war/1864/april/sanitary-commission.htmhttps://civilwarmonths.com/2026/06/09/the-u-s-sanitary-commission-2/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Sanitary_Commissionhttps://www.britannica.com/biography/Carlos-J-Finlayhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Walter_Reedhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aedes_aegyptiCivil War Docuseries:https://www.pbs.org/kenburns/the-civil-warUS Sanitary Commission:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2mrhYtuIlgMhttps://prepdish.com/meal-planning/give-your-produce-a-vinegar-bath/https://www.therustedgarden.com/blogs/vegetable-gardening-tips-blog/how-to-use-hydrogen-peroxide-on-your-tomato-plants-mix-ratios-spray-routine-theoryhttps://www.thepestinformer.com/pest-guides/ants/how-to-get-rid-of-ants-with-borax/https://billybon3s.com/Bonus exchange of V4V:https://www.tabletopwoodworks.com/Get yourself a new podcast app!https://podcastapps.com/
