Semmelwies was a doctor in the mid 1850's. He realized through observation that medical students were going straight from surgery to delivering a child, these mothers quite often died due to childbed fever, which he was sure was spread from the corpses to them by the doctors. He introduced a new rule in his hospital, that all doctors had to wash their hands with chlorine. The number of deaths dropped rapidly, he presented his ideas to other doctors and very slowly his idea was accepted, which is why, everybody must wash their hands with ethanol before entering a hospital and doctors tuck in their ties so that no disease cvan be carried on that, and women tie their hair back.....
