The Short-Lived Radium Girls of the Early 20th Century.
Script
Did you know that in the early 20th century, hundreds of women were employed to paint watch faces with glow-in-the-dark paint containing radium, and they were told to moisten their brushes with their tongues, causing them to ingest small amounts of radium daily, which led to severe health issues, including radiation poisoning, anemia, and even death, and this dark period in history became known as the Radium Girls scandal, and it's crazy to think that these women were literally glowing from the inside out, but not in a good way, what do you think about this weird and sad history fact.
