@joeyandamo78@C55Geo@Rectitude2022 Same with Minamata disease. They thought it was contagious and isolated patients to prevent the spread. They later found out that it was actually caused by mercury poisoning due to the consumption of mercury-contaminated fish and shellfish.
@kyarorin@jeremytyson Woah I'm so looking forward to that! You have no idea how many times I've watched your videos, specially the one about the ひったくり. I showed that video to a Japanese friend, and they said that if they hadn't seen your face, they would have thought you were native. 😎
