As someone who takes a weekly shot, ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME đ
Uuugh I donât want to switch to daily gel or patches, itâs such a pain in the ass.

I thought the injection would be the one that is a pain in the ass đ¤

Unfortunately no. Afaik even regular exposition is (for now) considered relatively harmless, with medical professionals bearing the highest risk.

Thatâs kinda misleading though. Large molecule PFAS are harmless to us (Teflon for example). Itâs the small molecule PFAS are dangerous and those arenât really used for any kind of non-stick surfaces.

Iâve never really looked into this, do you have any good sources you recommend looking at?

What are they used for

Theyâre part of the waste of producing non-stick coatings. So you arenât exposed to them by the needle or your Teflon frying pan or the Teflon tape in your plumbing, youâre exposed to them by the Teflon plant dumping their waste in the river, legally or otherwise

Which kinda PFAS do they use for hydrophobic coatings
