Ahh, the good old days - lead in the paint, arsenic in the lawn...
Yes!
And don’t forget the mercury in our fillings, and lead in our easy-to-roll toothpaste tubes. Incredible we didn’t drop right over dead before we reached 40. I did have a few near misses playing Lawn Jarts in my parents chemically infused back yard though. Which we immediately abandoned, Jart in midair, whenever the DDT fogging truck came through the neighborhood. We’d jump on our bikes and follow it down the street, close behind, huffing and puffing trying to keep up, for a good 4 or 5 blocks.
