I'm not saying this because I necessarily think it needs to be changed, I'm extremely happy to see these pages at all. But, I thought I'd leave this here in case anyone else wanted to know, in the japanese the title of these trivia pages is 本草綱目 which seems to be referencing a specific ming dynasty era medical text the bencao gangmu. Also known in english as the compendium of materia medica or the great pharamacopoiea.

With respect to formerly used substances now avoided due to toxicity, cinnabar (an ore of mercury) is another big one.

And here I'm thinking I may want stuff like this to paint wood to prevent insect damage. Mix some into a primer maybe?

Can't get proper laquer coatings anymore for similar reasons. Just really expensive tiny spray cans from Canada.

"What's scarier than being alone in the dark?"
"Not being alone in the dark."

It's all in how it is used. I believe cinnabar is still safely used in paints and such. Not such a good idea to use it in cosmetics, etc. that increase the exposure. Orpiment is much worse because it requires a lot less exposure to pick up the toxic metal in it.
