I remember the Swine flu scare in 1976 and killer bees. They even made a movie in 1978 called The Swarm with killer bees attacking Houston. What panics do you recall?

In the 80's they told us coffee would give you cancer. Later they told us coffee helped prevent cancer.
Both things have been said of red meat and red wine.

Don't forget the 1970's global cooling panic. The world and everyone it it was going to turn into a popsicle overnight. I was teenager and back then I knew it was crazy stoopid bullshit, before I even knew what crazy bullshit was.

The Spanish flu is why I am here.
Grandma's first husband died of it. Later Grandma remarried to my Grandpa. And the rest is history.
