RobotColorado - you needed a prescription to take a bath!

Perchance, CC0, perchance.org


In the labyrinth of American legislative history, some peculiar laws seem straight out of a farcical comedy. One such curious regulation hails from Colorado, where, according to an old law, it was necessary to obtain a doctor's prescription before one could take a bath. This outdated legislation evokes a mix of astonishment and amusement among historians and citizens alike.

Imagine for a moment the daily life under this law. Residents of Colorado would have had to consult their physician before enjoying the relaxing benefits of a bath. One can easily envision the endless queues at medical offices, with patients patiently waiting their turn to secure this precious authorization. This absurd situation raises several intriguing questions: was there a limit to the number of baths prescribed? What health criteria justified such a recommendation?

The irony of this legislation doesn't end there. The necessity to pay for a medical consultation for something as basic as a bath could pose a serious problem, especially for low-income families. At that time, seeing a doctor was not as accessible as it is today, and this law might have inadvertently contributed to public hygiene issues.

Of course, this law is no longer in effect and belongs to the whimsical past of American jurisprudence. However, it serves as a reminder of how social norms and regulations can evolve in surprising ways over time. It is also an excellent example of the importance of regularly reviewing and updating laws to ensure they remain relevant and sensible.
