Doesn't really seem like they'll get rid of what's already in the bloodstream and no real mention of safety yet, but it looks promising.
Time to start donating blood regularly. Someone else will get plastics sure, but they'll need the blood for more pressing reasons.
The microplastics get filtered really well in donations, so you’re definitely not doing any harm!
