Shower ok. Bath?: While showers are a great way of keeping clean and are often used to cleanse open wounds, I do not see any concerns with showering and do not understand this advisory other than for cultural indications. Baths, on the other hand, allow stagnant water which has been contaminated by oral, fecal, and other bodily fluids to bathe other parts of the body and is generally not considered as hygienic.
