Cambridge scientists have spotted gut bacteria that greedily soak up PFAS “forever chemicals,” then ferry them safely out of the body in animal tests, removing up to three-quarters of the toxins within minutes. Their findings hint at probiotic pills that could shield people from PFAS-linked cancers, fertility issues, and heart disease while lawmakers scramble to rein in 4,700 widespread compounds.

    I have a hard time believing she was a needlephobe and not more of a person who was not wild about needles as phobias do not disapear so easily.

      That’s arguable. But she did her first blood donation and it took her around 3 hours.
