Rotting Clothing .

Rotting Clothing .

Synopsis :
Wearing successive layers of rotting coarse-weave clothing is much healthier than washing .

Discussion :
Ancient travelers (Herodotus , etc) always commented on the barbarian habit of wearing clothes till they fell apart , then simply putting new ones over them .

Why weren't these barbarians zapped by plagues , while the cleanies were ?

What gives ?
The clothing layers
1. Inner coarse weave , made by felting , coarse weave processes . Involving milk , lactogen and fermentation bacteria . These generate heat . Sweat is utilized to generate heat in fermentation . As the fuel is exhausted , the fibres of the cloth disintegrate and fall off in an active life-style .
The coarse weave forms pockets of air , which are heated by the fermentation processes .
Basically , a hot air suit analogous to diving hotsuits .

2.Second and third layers the same
3.Outer layer
A wind cheater and water impermeable cloak ,

4. Macro Parasites :
The broken coarse fibres in the inner layers act like scissors to break probosces .
Remember the active lifestyle . There is lots of mechanical movement .
If the person becomes still , probably death from some plague .

Move or die .

Hence the ability of Mongols to survive in the heartland of the Black Death .

5. Micro parasites :
The inner layers of air-material are saturated with immune-friendly bacteria (from the lactogen processes) , as well as immune-system elements proceeding to the outside of the skin in a friendly environment .
This makes penetration by hostile pathogens very difficult .

6. Fashion .
Some bacteria were better than others in generating heat and retaining air cushions .
Built-in farts .
These were selected for .
Are still there . Spaceflight fans note .
"My Armani Mongol Biopants keep my balls warm even in space."

7. SuperNappies .
Mongols were renowned for spending days in the saddle without stop in subzero temperatures . How could they do it ?
SuperNappies , of course .
Warm urine was recycled and fed the bioreactor in the coarse-weave nappy to keep the balls and bum warm in the saddle , while gas generation kept the seat bouncy .
Without causing chafing (hint: milky proteins used in felt manufacture)
An elegant solution .

8. Vitamins
Fashionable lines of clothing had bacteria that manufactured vitamins needed by humans
Vit D springs to mind . A fur outer layer made of UV conductors (like many "white" furs ) will enhance Vit D production .
Others are left to the dear reader .

9. Eskimo's
They did not have coarse vegetable fibres and milk . Instead , they inverted fur and smeared it with fats and activated bacteria , making a really cosy environmental suit , mit vitamins and all .

10. Laplanders .
Somewhere in between Mongols and Eskimo's
But , note heavy preponderance of long-term cold-adapted Neanderthal genes .

11.Genetic Engineers note
There is a ready pool of cold-adapted bacterial genetic material from at least three discrete , separated sources .

12. The Smell
Doesn't this rotting clothing smell rotten ?
No . It smells rather sweet and milky once the seal is broken . No H2S is generated , and the whole process is well aerated via the active movement of the person .

13 . Bumpity-bump infertility .
An Epigenetic switch . Too much running or riding causes friction , This causes heat . Heat chaperones get activated . These activate epigenetic switches , indicating that the system as a whole is under stress . This activates infertility switches .
But bathing after exercise decreases temperature rapidly , aborting the whole epigenetic switching process . Resulting in higher fertility for both men and women .
This is why everybody washes these days . Not hygiene . Simply outbred .

14 . Speaking Mongolian .
Saying that we are not speaking Mongolian because they did not bathe seems extreme , but that is where the evidence leads us . Mongols never had the population explosion the English speaking peoples had . This is because of lack of bathing .
This is why you are reading this in English , instead of Mongolian .

Tepid shower , anyone ?
