Hey I remember this picture from my textbook! I've always loved this kind of structure. I'd love to live is something like this some day.

How did they handle pest control? Obviously, they probably had cats to deal with rodents but what about fleas, ticks and lice?

[–] PugJesus 3 points 2 months ago

There were nit combs and the sort, but lice are extremely common in pre-modern populations of all sorts, high-class and low, clean and dirty alike.
