Are there any blood test as a service sites? Where I can point and click order a blood test panel ?
However, these general blood tests won't test for PFAS: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31125559
Back to leeches; got it
Nice try, vampires!
Maybe a story prompt about vampires that discover they are dying due to heavy metal buildup in their systems. They go out in search of remote island nations that have populations with little exposure to modern low level contaminants. Have to adopt to slow island life.
So does this imply that women have lower levels than similarly exposed men?
We should be able to test our blood for PFAS on a regular basis and our doctors should be able to let us know if we need to filter our blood. But PFAS testing is not the norm? Per a Tedx talk on this subject: https://www.nrdc.org/experts/anna-reade/pfas-blood-tests-nee... >> Unfortunately, a PFAS blood test is not a routine lab test that can be processed by your local lab and covered by your health insurance. In fact…
I used to donate blood regularly. I would donate more regularly if I got a full blood panel with each donation. I've been quoted $600-2500. Surely you can comp that for me if I give you a pint.
So presumably they could just pass back the results of that test
Earlier quoted context omitted.
It’s not bloodletting but some things do come out in sweat, I remember reading a paper that demonstrated heavy metals come out in sweat in significant amounts. Perhaps other things do as well.
That would mean people who workout a lot should have less than sedatary people.

We should all get annual blood tests so we can track variance from out baselines.
