am currently deciding what to do next. That's what I was wondering, what do you do with this information? How do you narrow down where your exposure came from?
Maybe start donating blood regularly? https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamanetworkopen/fullarticle...

Doesn't this end up in some other poor sap then? Wouldn't you want to have the blood collected and destroyed as medical hazmat, along with testing to confirm burden reduction?

This is interesting, and I suppose has a use of "data over time" but I fail to see how this testing is of any actionable value for the average person. So you're exposed, and PFAS is in EVERYTHING.... so ... what should I do? Nothing realistically. Unless I find an obvious source like my water, there isn't much I can do besides replacing my cooking pans. I can replace my pans without this test. It's a little like thos…
Based on the new clinical recommendations, my 10.86 ng/mL level puts me at elevated risk for preeclampsia (if I were a women/pregnant). Knowing that could mean my BP during pregnancy is more closely monitored, with a BP cuff for example.

I think for certain high risk populations, specifically pregnant women or women planning on becoming pregnant, it makes sense. Based on the new clinical recommendations, my 10.86 ng/mL level puts me at elevated risk for preeclampsia (if I were a women/pregnant).

How can you interface with Quest diagnostics like this?
When you say that you are working to expand this to other locations what does this mean? Are you negotiating with other Quest labs?
The test is not approved by the FDA so why can they provide it?
Are you affiliated with the test provider or Quest in any way?
