Shantell Powell<p>When I was around 13 and definitely old enough to know better, I thought it would be a good idea to go for a swim in the neighbour's sheep dip pool. I waded out before coming right back out. It was not at all refreshing on a hot, summer day. It's a wonder I survived to become an adult.

In a recent case several <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/horses" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>horses</span></a> died as a result of being washed with a solution of arsenical dip to rid them of lice; the solution seemed to have been far too strong, absorption from the skin took place, and death ensued.<br><a href="https://paperspast.natlib.govt.nz/newspapers/EP19240929.2.43" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">paperspast.natlib.govt.nz/news</span><span class="invisible">papers/EP19240929.2.43</span></a></p><p><a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/OnThisDay" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>OnThisDay</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/OTD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>OTD</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/PapersPast" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PapersPast</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/Agriculture" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Agriculture</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/Farming" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Farming</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/Animals" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Animals</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/Insecticides" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Insecticides</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/SheepDip" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SheepDip</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/NewZealand" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>NewZealand</span></a></p>
