Another possible cause of "polio" could be found, historically, in wallpaper. The following from an article in Nature, 12 June 2003, titled "William Morris made poisonous wallpaper" The quote, "Andy Meharg of the University of Aberdeen in Scotland has found arsenic in the green pigment in an early sample of Morris's patterned wallpaper, produced some time between 1864 and 1875. Such pigments were suspected even in the mid-nineteenth century of releasing toxic fumes if they become damp." Polio is poisoning. Thanks Mike, this one deserves a reread!
