The Victorian Era was an age of new discoveries and technologies that changed everything about the way we live. It basically created the modern world as we know it. But that time of transition also led to some very, very weird ideas and dangers that seem baffling today.

You had me right up until you went for the Ivermectin. Eating sheep dewormer wasn't your larger point there, but that a new technology who's initial creator said wasn't ready for public consumption and needed more research first. Make that vax in an egg I'm fine. But RNA vaccines were rushed out the door. But at least they went through human testing, hundreds of millions of humans tested it.

Working class people in England would dilute arsenic in water and mop their floors with it, they also mixed arsenic into soft soap and rubbed it on their bed frames. All done to kill lice; if a woman was known to have bugs in her house she could be regarded as ‘low’ by her neighbours! Imagine all that arsenic about with children in the house…

The “sheep dewormer” that you mentioned (Ivermectin) is used and approved by the FDA to treat many illnesses! 🤷♂️

You will observe with some concern how long a useful truth is know and exist before it is generally accepted and acted on.
