I don't think you can actually get sick from it. Your blood in in a container, your body. That depends upon your basic health and your food intake.

I was born in the 40's and we did not bathe every night, lack of hot water for 6 people, and it just wasn't so common. But gradually it became the custom. I know I shampooed weekly.

My daughter shampoos every single day. Which is actually hard on your hair. Bathing every day feels great and you feel clean, but it does wash away natural oils your skin and hair need. I bathe about 5 or 6 and even 7 times a week but wash my hair about 2 or 3 times a week.

When I was young you never heard of dry skin or scalp or
Dandruff. It just wasn't around. I do think that the frequent shampooing drys your scalp and hair and makes it less healthy.

Your nails will be very clean. I never heard anything bad.

I don't think this has been studied and proven. I do know that it can possibly give you dry skin but that's about it.

no its not bad duhh
your just being clean! its fun!

Not at all.
I've been takin' a bath at 11:00pm - 12:30am on weekdays for 5 years. No health problems have come my way for taking a bath late at night.

wrong dear lool its just bad for ur hair only i mean if u wash ur hair daily it wont b healthy anymore that's the only problem but ur body it wont get effected from taking a bath daily

no it helps u sleep well and wake up with energy. i do it so don't feel bad. clean is always the best choice.

you need to dry yourself after bathing at night
old folks always say we will get arthritis.
because the air enter the bone...

i am not very sure of it.

The only problem, is for, some, little girls, bubble bathes or reg baths, may give them bacteria infection, or like a yeast infection. Ask your Dr.

its good for you. i take a bath every single night. it helps me relax and sleep better.
i havnt noticed any blood in the tub( so far :)

No it is not true, you skin adjusts to the amount of soap it is exposed to though, and can get a bit over stimulated, so use a mild baby ph balanced bubble bath if you do bathe every night. Very hot water can be bad for your blood pressure, but if I have had a bath everyday for my whole life and I am fine!

im i dont believe so but it could be true but i thought taking a bath every nite is a good thing
