Poison of this sort isn’t usually called poison—at least, not at first. It’s called a new miraculous substance or a wonder cure. Something that can make food taste better, or houses stay warmer, or pipes resist corrosion. The things that seem like a good idea at the time, even divine, but when they’re examined more closely, over decades, they prove not only faulty but obvious disasters from the start.
