ASBESTOS ENCAPSULATION

Imagine this: you visit the doctor because you’ve been feeling sick, and after explaining your symptoms and being given a once over, they say, “I’m not sure which disease you caught, but it’s definitely something; I’m prescribing you several sessions of bloodletting.” Imagine your shock! Well, as strange as it seems today, practices like bloodletting, or the withdrawal of blood in an attempt to cure an illness or disease, were once thought to be highly efficacious, along with a long list of others that are now also considered ineffective if not outright dangerous, like the lobotomy, mercury supplements, or tobacco enemas (yikes). The point is, there’s a lot of things we humans once thought were safe to use, and in fact, majorly beneficial, before later learning that neither is true.
