    I was told the future would be all flying cars and food in pills.

    But instead it’s industrial pollution and bloodletting.

    The bioaccumilation of PFAS in mortal blood is concerning for me and my colleagues.
    It would be very sad to live for 600 years, only to be killed off by fire suppressant.

    Huh interesting, as someone who has to bloodlet regularly… nice to know my PFAS levels should be a bit lower.

    Additionally - not good people are having to do it because of this. Just further scares me of the quality of our drinking water by all our crazy water providers.

      I’m curious - why would someone need to bloodlet? I’m ignorant AF on this but I thought this was like, dark ages medicine?

        It’s used therapeutically for hemochromatosis which is too much iron in your blood.

      Always nice to have a silver lining!
      I really don’t want to think about a 10 year future where everyone has to go through this.
