The most depressing part of this? Stopping the creation of PFAS might help out kids or grandkids, but we're kind of screwed. Well, unless you give blood a lot

- mrguyorama 3y agoInvest in leaches!
- BiteCode_dev 3y agoGiving plasma is actually better if you want to remove PFAS. And giving either is a good thing, so if this can mean people will give 2 or 3 times a year, everybody wins.
- npongratz 3y agoSuppose I give plasma or blood, and it removes PFAS from my body. Does it give those PFAS to the recipient of my plasma/blood?
- BiteCode_dev 3y agoYes, but: - it removes only a fraction of it from your body, so it gives only a fraction of it to the recipient. - if you need a donation, this dose compared to what you get in exchange is usually a very good deal - some blood don't actually go to people, but is used for manufacturing drugs, science tests or expires - hopefully people don't get blood transfusions very often and have a blood level of PFAS close to the average and the given blood. Hopefully.
- quesera 3y agoAlso: recipient likely has a similar PFAS concentration in their blood already, so there's minimal net impact (aside from the life-saving part!)
