    I prefer to snort it but you do you

      Cocaine makes me feel like a new man.

      The trouble is that he wants a line too!

      There was an article posted recently about those having a surprising amount of microplastics in them as well. It turns out the production line machinery scratches the bottle cap and microscopic fragments make their way into the drink.

  Bad news: Todays needles are coated in PFAS to make punctions more painless.

    As someone who takes a weekly shot, ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME 😭

    Uuugh I don’t want to switch to daily gel or patches, it’s such a pain in the ass.

    • mustbe3to20signs@feddit.org ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

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

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

  • SuperIce@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    That’s kinda misleading though. Large molecule PFAS are harmless to us (Teflon for example). It’s the small molecule PFAS are dangerous and those aren’t really used for any kind of non-stick surfaces.

      Some recent study also found that mucilaginous fiber binds with PFAS the same way that it binds with cholesterol to keep the body from absorbing it. PFAS already in your system is believed to be reintroduced to your digestive system through bile excretion, some binds with the fiber and leaves your system, the rest is absorbed.

      If you don’t eat a lot of food with mucilage, the main ingredient in Metamucil has mucilaginous fiber, as the name suggests.

      The study author in the interview I read emphasized it wasn’t like ‘take fiber for a few months and PFAS is all gone,’ she and her husband just incorporated a mucilage supplement into their diets because of how prevalent it is in the environment.

      Does this also mean woman after their period have less plastic?

      Keeping in mind that you’re getting rid of the plastic in your blood by getting rid of her blood

    Only if your exposure in the future is less than in the past. Otherwise it will just go back up again. And considering plastic use is going up, you would have to use air filters and avoid micro plastics as much as possible.

    source

    • WhyJiffie@sh.itjust.works ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      so it works, because in any case there will be less than otherwise would be

  • vodka@feddit.org ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    I does! It also reduced heavy metal levels.

    Thankfully the bad type that shouldn’t be your blood, and not the cool type that should be playing on your speakers.

    source
  • ProfessorOwl_PhD@hexbear.net ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    Technically, sure, it would reduce the microplastics in your body, but they’re everywhere in your body, so it wouldn’t be by a significant amount.

  Donating my microplastics to people in need.

  source
• Hylactor@sopuli.xyz ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

  If human blood has plastics at a rate of ~ 1.6 µg/mL and a typical volume of blood donated during a whole blood donation is approximately 470-500 mL you’re looking at a reduction in plastics of a cool .0005 grams per donation. That’s 1/40th of a grain of rice!

  source

  • Tar_alcaran@sh.itjust.works ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    Don’t think of it like that, think of it as 10% of your total blood plastic!

    I wonder if doing plasma instead of whole blood is better or worse. Does microplastic stay behind or go back in?

    source

    • reallykindasorta@slrpnk.net ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      Damn apparently giving plasma might be better according to this small study of aussie firefighters

    So you gotta do a full flush when you donate. Got it.

    source
  • TimewornTraveler@lemmy.dbzer0.com ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    why would you use absolute values for something measured in such small quantities? show us the percentage that comes out. or the fraction of the grain of rice associated with kidney / liver damage

  Does ejaculation remove micro plastics? Asking for a friend.

  .A friend used to donate blood when he had sex with a random girl, he said that if he contracted HIV, they would contact him.

    Well, not the person in need that’s getting transfusions of blood filled with microplastics.

    source

    • L1to@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      I mean the person that is taking in the blood has already lost blood and the plastic within as a prerequisite. So, at the end, they should stay within the same amount of blood plastic as before.
