| ■ Taking a Bath With a Fever（熱があるときのお風呂） | 2010.8.3 |
The skin gets dirty as the body sweats when having a fever. In Japan, it is long believed not good to take a bath when having a fever, but this is an old way of thinking from times when there were no bathrooms in each home. Nowadays, most people can take a bath or shower whenever they want at home. It is simply unbearable to not take a bath. Of course, taking a bath exhausts energy, so it is better to take a short lukewarm bath during periods of temporarily lowered temperature. It is better to use the shower during summer. |
