Pretty sure it's why humanity seems to have lost its fucking mind.
But there is no evidence yet that microplastics directly cause poor health in humans — only data that show a link.
I don’t really care anymore. Nothing I can do about it
- Blood donation is the one thing shown to help reduce plastics in your body and it has the side effect of helping others
  
  Is it because they run your blood through a filter while they’re pulling it? Or is it just that the blood we make to replace it is clean?
  I’m laughing pretty hard that blood letting is now an actually useful treatment
Yes. This will be the next science denial 'debate' after climate change (if we live that long)
We do have young and healthy people getting sick with no obvious explanation.
Insulation for my synapses
