History tells a story! Did cleaning habits save medieval Poland from the plague!?
Let me introduce a historical fact that demonstrates the importance of surface disinfection (wiping) that UV Clear specializes in.
The Black Death, known as "the plague," ravaged medieval Europe. From the 14th century to the end of the 17th century, it spread across Europe, the Middle East, and North Africa, with estimates of around 80 million to 100 million deaths, and a mortality rate reaching 30-60%. However, there were countries with extremely few cases of infection, one of which is Poland. The green areas in the diagram on the right represent "regions with few cases of infection." What is the reason for the extremely low number of infections compared to surrounding areas? In fact, in Eastern Europe, including Poland, there has been a long-standing culture of using distilled spirits (vodka) as a disinfectant. It was customary to disinfect hands and to wipe dishes and furniture with strong alcohol like vodka. This practice of cleaning surfaces with vodka, a form of practical wisdom, is said to have helped stop the plague bacteria.
