In 1916, the US began forcing Mexicans that crossed the border to bathe in a mix of kerosene and vinegar. A US immigration officer talks to Mexicans in El Paso, Texas, 1916. El Paso was considered to have the ideal dry, warm climate to combat tuberculosis, and so, multiple sanatoriums were built in the city. AdvertisementAdvertisementAs a result, Mexicans and Mexican Americans who lived along the border developed a deep fear of the baths, Levya said. In total, the government is thought to have bathed 127,123 Mexicans at the bridge between Juárez and El Paso.

☆ Octopuses could get the same protections as mice and monkeys thanks to a growing body of evidence that suggests they feel pain

The NIH said a growing body of evidence suggests cephalopods are capable of feeling pain. Other countries have also extended animal welfare protections to octopuses. AdvertisementAdvertisementThanks to mounting evidence that they may be capable of feeling pain, octopuses could soon receive the same legal protections that mice and monkeys have in the US. The US Public Health Service sets the federal standards for animal welfare in science under its policy on "Humane Care and Use of Laboratory Animals." The move comes after other countries have also extended animal welfare protections to cephalopods, including New Zealand, Australia, Canada, and Switzerland.
