If something doesn’t kill us on contact, we seem to dismiss it as a non-issue. We establish “safe” dosages of various contaminants whether it be food, water, pollution, or vaccinations. After all, if the poison is low enough to not destroy our health in a matter of mere minutes, then no problem, right? If you nodded your head in agreement, then you could quite easily be another victim of the “boiled frog syndrome”.

What Is Boiled Frog Syndrome?
