I'm getting worried about the retainer I wear at night to prevent teeth clenching related problems. It's old and starting to decay.. time for a new one but what's worse? grinding my teeth at night or slowly degrading this plastic retainer and ingesting the wee bits?
There are other upticks in conditions which are potentially caused by microplastics that are a little more politically controversial to have discussions about.

I’ve been thinking about this, too. I have a few caps due to me grinding my teeth for so many years, so for me, the choice is between plastic from a retainer and little bits of whatever the caps are made of.
It was easy to take lead out of gas compared to this.
I'm thinking of toothpaste, face wash, shampoo, etc.

Depends if your partner strangles you or not. (this is why I gave up mechanical keyboards)
Do microplastics accumulate in blood, and does donating blood reduce this amount?

Truth be told I don't even know where to begin having a conversation about this. There's so much conflicting information and so many knee-jerk reactions (see other comments).
