Bandages from brands such as Band-Aid and Curad have been found to contain dangerous levels of toxic “forever chemicals,” allowing direct contact with the bloodstream through open wounds, according to a new report.

Of the 40 bandages from 18 different brands tested by environmental health and consumer watchdog Mamavation and Environmental Health News, 26 had detectable levels of organic fluorine, an indicator of harmful “forever chemicals,” also known as PFAS.

DEI. I’ll bet they were targeted because they don’t make their products in 6 different skin tones.

So many things to be afraid of and upset about. So little time.

Ya know..I am perfectly happy with cotton gauze and tape...lawyers NEVER hang out with regular people...they would disapper into another pile of 300 (old joke “wwhat do you call 300 dead lawyers at the bottom of the sea?” Band-aids are fine...

I usually use a shop towel and electrical tape. I’m sure there’s no harmful “forever” chemicals in those.

Super glue is good for fairly small cuts, and electrical tape stays on better than band-aids if you wrap it all the way around.

DEI rears its ugly head. Dollars to donuts Band-Aid was targeted
because they don’t make the products in 6 different skin tones
and did not offer label translations in 125 languages.

So, did they actually find the scary ‘forever’ chemicals, or did they just find an “indicator”?

My father was a knifemaker (and a very good one). Every now and then he’d get a minor nick. He would apply Krazy Glue, wait a few minutes for it to fully cure and then go right back to work.

Yes, it looks like they just make them in 5. Curad has more diversity. Looks like you can get them in 6 colors, including blue and it looks like a grey for the grey aliens visiting earth.

You are doomed if you use more than one bandaid in a month. Your entire blood supply could be replaced by the PFAS released from three bandaids on your body, and you will turn into a heterosexual Republican zombie.

According to the CDC these effects can only be deactivated by keeping up to date on all of the ChiCom virus vaccine booster shots.

There's stuff called "New Skin" that's actually glue. It stings but it works.

I wonder if they were ever interested in checking for scary chemicals in the covid vaccines.
