To me this is not a myth but a fact in those days. I remember as a young child people in my village use to iron with a coalpot and iron and in those days one had to endure a lot of heat especially with the large bundles of khaki pants, shirts, sheets, pillowcases and I know some women even ironed their husbands underwear. I remembered 2 women dying after ironing all or most of the day then bathing outside in the afternoon. It was said that they caught purisy (not sure of the spelling pronounced pu-ree-see. I had a great uncle who worked in his garden in hot sun all day then went down to the Blue Basin river to bath and died within 2 hours. It was said that he caught purisy after being in the hot sun all day then bathing in the cold river water....... SO was this a myth or fact???GAILOShttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16759865190923983323noreply@blogger.com
