Firefighters get exposed to a lot of PFAS from the fire suppressant foam. Firefighters who donated blood regularly had lower levels of blood-PFAS than non-donors. Donating blood might be one current option to reduce your PFAS levels.
Pardon my ignorance, but if your blood has high levels of PFAS, wouldnโt you then be donating contaminated blood?
Yes. But when you need a transfusion to live it's still a good deal for you. Besides, you can always just donate blood later to bring your levels back down.
Sorry doctor, I only accept free rage, organic, pfas free blood transfusions.
Maybe, I'm ignorant of the answer to that. I think they often separate blood so maybe it gets filtered.
So what you're saying is the cure is... Blood letting?

Lol. Sounds like some RFK nonsense when you put it like that.
It's the foams specifically for fighting fuel fires that are made from PFAS. Unfortunately, their safety gear also is loaded with PFAS.
