I don’t really care anymore. Nothing I can do about it

Blood donation is the one thing shown to help reduce plastics in your body and it has the side effect of helping others

Is it because they run your blood through a filter while they’re pulling it? Or is it just that the blood we make to replace it is clean?

I’m laughing pretty hard that blood letting is now an actually useful treatment

No they just remove the blood and filter it for others you just get the blood with micro plastics out od you and your bone marrow makes new blood that doesn't have plastic in it.

That makes sense. Good idea
