Welcome
We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!
The Rules
Posts must be:
- Links to news stories from...
- ...credible sources, with...
- ...their original headlines, that...
- ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”
Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.
And that’s basically it!

"Bloodletting" removes 500ml of whole blood every 12 weeks.
"Plasma donation" removes 1000ml of blood volume, once every 2 weeks (in the UK) or twice a week (in the US). And in the US, you get about $80 for two donations.
I've heard (not confirmed) that as a firefighter I can turn up to a blood donation centre, tell them I'm a firefighter and want to dump PFAS and they'll draw, and dispose, of my blood.
I should confirm it...
What you heard may originally stem from this study: https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamanetworkopen/article-abstract/2790905
I read it earlier this week. Weird coincidence.
