    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?

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