In the 1920s, the US Radium Corporation hired young women to paint glow-in-the-dark numbers on watches. They were told the paint was harmless. The supervisors even encouraged them to lick the paintbrushes to keep the tip sharp. The women would paint their teeth and nails for fun because they glowed. Years later, their bones began to honeycomb and disintegrate. Their jaws literally fell off while they were still alive. They were the "Ghost Girls." #1920sHistory #HistoricalTragedy #FactoryWorkers
