Why did iron production in India stop?

No according to the author the bad spirits and illnesses are things like, you drop dead, you break a leg, your wife find someone else - well this could be a blessing.
What do you say Andrew? I understand, all right - no blessing.
It seems to be different than the horse shooe, which is meant to bring luck, this 'Virgin Iron' it meant, not to bring you luck, but to protect you from bad things.
You are of course right, that there probably must have been some lead and mercury in the ores they dug out, and I doubt that they got very old, although I don't know.
