The bad thing about them is that people believe they are true and act accordingly. At one time it was thought that night air was poisonous so people did everything they could to avoid nighttime air. They also thought that there were islands that were magnetic and would pull nails from ships sinking them. Another one was that the tomato was poisonous. This lasted until the mid 1800’s.
