Yeah. I remember reading a story about a (I think) Hungarian doctor who on observation, told doctors that there are "little animals" on our skin that were making people ill and they should wash their hands. They were moving from touching dead bodies to delivering babies without washing at that point and - he was ridiculed and thrown out of practice. It was only some time later that the first microscopes were developed and they saw germs.
