Even in the early 1900s, they used radioactive dyes to make things like clock faces glow!

I think the extremely tight jeans that we wear these day are probably on the dangerous side, I know my legs sometime feel sore after wearing tight jeans for a while and it always made my knees hurt even more when I was having knee troubles.
