Molecules of Death | History of Arsenic | Julius Manuel | HisStories

Arsenic, a powerful and deadly poison, has been used in various forms since ancient times. It has been used as a weapon to commit murder, as well as a medicine to treat a variety of ailments. In the Middle Ages, arsenic was used as a medicine to treat skin disorders, and it was not until the 1800s that its toxic properties were discovered. In the 20th century, arsenic-based pesticides were used to protect crops from pests, and many people were exposed to dangerous levels of the poison. Today, arsenic is strictly regulated and its use is limited to certain industrial and medical purposes. Despite its toxic nature, arsenic remains a fascinating part of history. ============== Instagram |   / juliusmanuel_   Insta broadcast | https://ig.me/j/AbbAIzWxF6R6qz7O/ Elmer McCurdy |    • Elmer McCurdy | മരണശേഷം സർക്കസിൽ ചേർന്ന കു...   Arsenic Under the Elms | https://www.amazon.com/dp/0803283091?...
