Residents of Jersey have been recommended bloodletting to reduce high concentrations of “forever chemicals” in their blood after tests showed some islanders have levels that can lead to health problems.
Private drinking water supplies in Jersey were polluted by the use of firefighting foams containing PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances) at the island’s airport, which were manufactured by the US multinational 3M.
PFAS, a family of more than 10,000 chemicals, can build up in the body and are linked to conditions such as kidney and bladder cancer, thyroid disease and immune deficiency.
Bloodletting draws blood from a vein in measured amounts. It is safe and the body replenishes the blood naturally, but it must be repeated until clean.
I’m guessing 3M — the billion dollar corporation who poisoned these people with it’s product — will be forced to pay the medical costs for their crimes?
Lol. Jokes. I know we live in capitalist dictatorships.
3M needs a huge fucking spanking like what China does to their negligent companies they want to really make a public example out of
which were manufactured by the US multinational 3M.
Why the past tense? They’re still making it last I heard.
it will boil down to the question: could effective fire fighting foam have been made without these chemicals? if yes it’s on 3M; if not, that’s the price for fighting those kinds of fires.
GET THE FUCKING LEECHES JIM!
Fun fact: there are modern medical applications for leeches as well.
And, if you want to be super grossed out, you can read about how maggots are used.
