Heard a great podcast -- and episode of "Stuff You Should Know" -- about the introduction of outhouses.
They weren't a "thing" in many places until a deliberate program, early in the 20th century, to fight parasitic worms that lived in human waste.
Rather than being a backward thing, a properly built and serviced outhouse was a major advance.
I've used 'em plenty of times, staying at various wilderness cabins.
Where's my bucket of ashes . . .
