    Plasma donation works much better.

    Whole blood donation typically takes 500ml of blood every 12 weeks. Plasma donation takes 1000ml of plasma every 2 weeks (in the UK) or twice a week (in the US).

    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.

      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.
