    Blood donation can help reduce Micoplastics and PFAS in your blood. So if you haven’t given blood in a while it’s worth it for a personal benefit as well as social one.

      The plague doctors were right. We must bleed to remove the bad humors (microplastics).

        Yep but at least we are smart enough to not let that blood go down the drain this time.

          Why not just install the filter in my body? SMH

      My government refuses me to give blood, because I consume weed.
