πŸ’‘ Today's Bonus: Knowledge Gets Weird!

For over a century, parents have panicked about poinsettias during the holidays. Keep them away from kids! Don't let pets near them! They're deadly poisonous! Except... they're not. At all. In 1919, a rumor spread that a two-year-old child in Hawaii died after eating poinsettia leaves. The story got picked up by newspapers, medical journals, and eventually became accepted as fact. Poinsettias were officially labeled as toxic plants. There's just one problem: the story was completely made up. No child died. No hospital records exist. No death certificate was ever found. Someone invented the entire thing, and everyone believed it. Researchers have since fed poinsettias to rats in massive quantitiesβ€”we're talking the equivalent of a human eating 500-600 leavesβ€”and nothing happened. The rats were fine. Poinsettias are about as dangerous as eating a salad. The myth has persisted for 105 years despite being thoroughly debunked multiple times. The American Association of Poison Control Centers gets thousands of panicked calls every December about poinsettia exposure, and they have to explain it's harmless every single time. So that beautiful holiday plant everyone treats like a biohazard? Completely safe. You've been avoiding it your whole life because of a lie someone told in 1919.
