This is amazing and repeated all over the country. The wood was treated with arsenic as a preservative. Everybody knew it at the time. It was sold all over. People have it in their backyard playscapes. Now it's verboten.

Similarly, fiberglass batting was always a cancer and lung risk. It has been used for decades. Now they put stickers on it and cover both sides to prevent health damage.

Before it was asbestos, mercury and lead.
Doctors used to advertise for healthy cigarettes at one time.

As a species, we're really not too advanced.

Daily Horoscope for December 26

Capricorn

Mercury retrograde in your sign will cause some friction between you and other people during coming weeks. Matters that have been bubbling away in the background will come to the boil, forcing you to do something about them. Try not to overreact, nor to create a crisis out of something that's really very minor. You should also keep a strong sense of fair play and pay attention to every little detail.
