Did it ever leave? I thought it was still preferred in certain medical procedures. I think something about after reattaching parts of the body it was one of the best options to ensure blood flow in the area, but it has been years since I last read about it.
The recipient will get the forever chemicals, but they survive due to the blood transfer, so in a few weeks they can donate and get rid of the chemicals.
“In this randomized clinical trial of 285 firefighters, both blood and plasma donations resulted in significantly lower PFAS levels than observation alone. Plasma donation was the most effective intervention, reducing mean serum perfluorooctane sulfonate levels by 2.9 ng/mL compared with a 1.1-ng/mL reduction with blood donation, a significant difference; similar changes were seen with other PFASs”
Its kind of funny that a lot of issues I had seemed to not be present when I was donating. Then I took finasteride and now I'm not allowed to donate anymore...
