I find it interesting though that the argument to donate blood is that one's blood might be toxic. That giving away your toxic blood might make your own blood less toxic.

I've also wondered, is it possible for a transfusion recipient to fail a drug screening test because their doner had recently consumed drug prior to their donation.
> The logic in removing them is simple: PFAS work by binding to serum proteins in the blood; removing some of this blood, therefore, would lead to the reduction of forever chemicals in the bloodstream. As to the question of what happens to recipients of this blood: “Perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances are ubiquitous, and no threshold has been identified that poses an increased risk to recipients of donated blood components.”
I’d certainly be happy to have blood drawn if it meant lowering blood toxicity I had no other way of treating.
