  The food you consume to produce the blood also has micro plastic. Nothing changes.

    Yeah buts it’s fresh micro plastic and not this stall stuff I’ve had in me for years.

      Therefore it’s got new fresh chemicals to “leech” out into your blood again.

    That should depend on how the chemicals accumulate though. If all the plastic ends up in your blood and never gets naturally filtered out, it could make sense. Maybe it builds up in your fat/muscles instead though, or gets filtered over time and the amount in your system is the same as the amount in what you have recently eaten, idk

  That’s animal cruelty. (Feeding plastic-laden blood to leaches)

    Somehow I don’t think they’d mind too much, provided you give them a nice leech habitat.

      That's a special type of cruelty when victim does not mind.

  It’s random internet advice?

  • sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works ⁨2⁩ ⁨years⁩ ago

    And 4Chan, which is the worst form of internet advice.

  It isn’t. Blood donation reduces PFASs and iron buildup (too much iron in the blood is bad). And leeches are used in certain procedures, although I haven’t heard of them being used to remove microplastics (yet).
