Bloodletting as remedy to clear the body off #PFAS
https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025/jan/16/bloodletting-recommended-for-jersey-residents-after-pfas-contamination
Both, private wells and the public drinking water system on Jersey is contaminated since the 1960s, when the airport started using fire foam containing PFAS.
Around year 2000, 3M stopped making this particular foam.
But Jersey's soil is full of it. And so is the water. Still. A forever chemical is just that, a #ForeverChemical
The Guardian quotes one resident living close to the airport in the 1990s, whose father got kidney and bladder cancer in the late 1990s, and he himself was more recently diagnosed with a slow-growing blood cancer that indicates it started in 1998.
Other cases occurred.
Some sleepy officials only started to move the public drinking water off the heavier contaminated wells in 2022.
