In the old days, people lived in poverty and had a weak awareness of hygiene. Coupled with the lack of medical care and medicine, there were many patients with skin diseases (such as scabies) and were easily contagious. Mustard contains a lot of chlorophyll and vitamin C. Regular consumption of vegetables rich in chlorophyll and vitamin C can improve your own immunity, enhance resistance, and is good for human skin. Therefore, there is a saying that "eating mustard rice will not produce scabies."
