A creative use for Lysol in 1926. Eighty years from now, what common medical or hygienic practice will we look back on as insane?

Gardasil vaccinations for all 6th grade girls. Why would this need to be required for admission to school...it's not an easily communicable disease and I sure hope schools aren't allowing the behavior in school that would spread HPV!

This one is a no-brainer.
Vaccination with thimerosal. *Credite experto.*

"Vaccination with thimerosal." To bad the current data suggests otherwise...

Am I the only one who is reminded of the scene from Woody Allen's movie Sleeper where he wakes up several hundred years in the future? As he is recovering from his period of suspended animation, the doctors give him a cigarette and tell him to inhale it deeply, because they now know that tobacco is one of the healithiest things for the body. As they are reviewing his recorrds, they discover that he worked at a health-food store, selling things like wheat germ. A nurse asks, "Didn't they have any steak? Any deep-fried foods?" Doctor: "No, they believed those things were bad for you, the exact opposite of what we now know to be true!" ;-)
