Recently learned a bit of family history. Asked about how a relative died, many years ago. (We’re a family of artists going back generations). Said relative wasn’t well mentally. Turns out she unalived herself by drinking that green paint. (She had a child who was adopted by my great grandparents.)

That’s exactly what I said! My grandmother was born in 1895 and the son became a sibling of hers, so about the same age I think. Would have been when they knew there was arsenic in it but hadn’t banned it yet, I’m thinking.
