Who developed 'scientific' theories about the use of
hygienic dress and of wearing wool, next to the body?

Answer Posted / guest

In 1884 Dr. Gustav Jaeger, a German professor of Zoology
and Physiology at the University of Stuttgart
developed 'scientific' theories about the use of hygienic
dress and of wearing wool, next to the body. He published
his essays on health culture as Dr. Jaeger's Sanitary
Woollen System. He wanted everyone to use wool fibres
throughout the house right down to the bed sheets. He
thought pure animal fibres would prevent the retention of
noxious exhalations of the body.
