I read somewhere that they used a communal sponge in roman times.

That is unspeakably gross.

I know, but at that day and age, it was one of the more clean options.

I don't know. I grew up in the woods and it seems way cleaner to grab some big leaves than to share a sponge.

oh man, those poison ivy leaves. So soft!

We didn't have poison ivy, but we did have neddles. Fortunately, I never made that mistake.

Did you have to plant called milkweek? Or rabbits ear? That is very soft!
