Every fall and spring, my husband and I buy the topic of today’s episode by the case for our allergies. And with a new baby in the house, we’ve been buying even more. We have a box in almost every room in the house. We most likely take them for granted, until we run out that is.
In this episode, we’ll look at the original, non-disposable version used for centuries through the more recent invention most of us know and use today.
I’m your host, Emily Prokop, and this is The Story Behind Tissues.
