These Images Reveal What Life Was Like in the Wild West

April 16, 2025 by Jade Parker

Spitting Became Outlawed Due to Spread of Disease

The Wild West conjures images of spitting, a seemingly ubiquitous habit of the time. In those days, spittoons were as common as tumbleweeds, and a lax approach to hygiene meant folks didn’t think twice about letting loose. The veneer of cleanliness was often provided by a generous layer of sawdust, but this seemingly innocuous practice had a dark side – it transformed into a breeding ground for germs.

In a landscape where diseases like pneumonia and tuberculosis lurked, this cavalier attitude toward spitting placed many at grave risk. The situation escalated to the point where train stations took a stand, banning the practice outright and issuing stern warnings of hefty fines or even imprisonment for the culprits. Suddenly, the act of spitting carried a price tag of $500 or the prospect of a year behind bars, incentivizing a dramatic shift toward improved hygiene practices.
