I once looked at lead paint on a window sill for over 5 minutes.

I once sprayed paint right out of the can into my eyes while trying to clear a clog. I never did that again. I think I was around 10 at the time.

Thatโ€™s nothing. As a boy I enjoyed Diet Pepsi sweetened with cyclamates. Never got cancer, though admittedly I kept my consumption under the 800 or so cans equivalent per day threshold they used to induce cancer in mice in testing

I “licked the beaters” after Mom made a cake and didn’t die, in spite of raw eggs being in it. ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜‰

as long as you didn’t inhale, you’ll probably be all right ...

Once my Best Friend and I made a raft and after a heavy storm went down the surging local creek. It was a thrilling white water ride—we survived by the skin of our teeth. Looking back we could have been killed.
