‘Don’t Wear Black’: The Poisoner’s Handbook on PBS

I am reading this post ‘Don’t Wear Black’: The Poisoner’s Handbook on PBS By Deborah Blum, on WIRED's website. I watched about 1/2 of the show on American Experience last night. I enjoyed it. Nice history lesson on Prohibition. Did not know some people drank denatured alcohol, smoke, at bootleg places. Did not know radium enjoyed such a fad that people wanted to be exposed to it. I heard the same thing about mummy dust.
