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 a 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.

So it's like one of those curses you can only get rid of by giving it to someone else?

Lol they filter the blood something your liver can't do

Why not just install the filter in my body? SMH

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

I've seen this a lot recently. Does anyone have a citation? I want to believe.
