The Radium Girls | Marks Unexplained World Podcast (Ep. 131)
Contains Graphic Details
The Radium Girls were female factory workers who contracted radiation poisoning from painting radium dials and watch dials with self-luminous paint.
After being told that the paint was harmless, the women in each facility ingested deadly amounts of radium after being instructed to "point" their brushes on their lips in order to give them a fine tip.
Dentists were among the first to see numerous problems among dial painters, with Dental pain, loose teeth, lesions, and ulcers, with many of the women developing anaemia, bone fractures, and necrosis of the jaw.
