    Pardon my ignorance, but if your blood has high levels of PFAS, wouldn’t you then be donating contaminated blood?

      Yes. But when you need a transfusion to live it’s still a good deal for you. Besides, you can always just donate blood later to bring your levels back down.

      Maybe, I’m ignorant of the answer to that. I think they often separate blood so maybe it gets filtered.
