Castle Moats Were Absolutely Disgusting
We are sure you have always dreamed of having a moat in your own home! However, the reality is that you would not like to take a dip there. Castle keepers used to dump human waste and leftover food in this area. If you ever see a movie and someone falls in, you now understand just how nasty it would have been even if there were no alligators!

They Covered The Floors With Straw
During the Middle Ages, they simply covered the floor with straw when bathrooms were not available. The truly nasty thing about this practice was that they never took out the old straw before putting on a new layer. We hope that medieval folks did not walk around bare feet because that would take this to a whole new level. Knowing this, we can see why people used to get sick so easy back then.
