Shakespeare had some health issues in adulthood. The exact nature of his health concerns aren't fully known, but he was said to have been a heavy drinker and it is possible that he used drugs as well. He retired from writing plays due to poor health, though it wasn't stated what his condition was. It is also rumored that he was buried 17 feet deep, which could indicate that he died of a contagious illness, as that was common practice in that era.

∙ 10y agoWe don't know. Records were not kept of such things. Health problems may have accounted for his retirement from the theatre world. We can't tell how often he bathed. He may have had an opportunity to bathe more often than most, working as he did in the brothel district of Southwark where the houses of ill repute all offered baths (they were considered a way of curing syphilis).
