Before washing machines were invented, people did indeed wash their clothes by hand using a washboard and tub. This method involved scrubbing the clothes against the washboard to remove dirt and stains, and then rinsing them in the tub.

Therefore, the statement "Before washing machines, people used to wash clothes by hand with a washboard and tub" is true.

It has a fleshy growth on its head that acts as a lure, attracting prey towards its sharp teeth. This adaptation allows the angler fish to catch its prey in the dark depths of the ocean. Glass frogs, sharks, and angora rabbits are not known for this specific hunting technique.

While headache and sore eyes can be symptoms of other conditions as well, the mention of allergies suggests that the symptoms are likely due to an allergic reaction.
