Does the recipient get the forever chemicals or is there filtration processing that removes them?
The recipient will get the forever chemicals, but they survive due to the blood transfer, so in a few weeks they can donate and get rid of the chemicals.

#77I assume a lot of people 50+ were exposed to a lot more lead and cigarette smoke than younger people.
Yes, for those under 30 you have no idea how normalized smoking was right thru the 90s. Restaurants reeked of it, bars more so. A ridiculous percent of men smoked. I have memories of being quite young sitting in a relatives lap at a baseball game while they smoked. Or my coach in little league smoking a pipe in the dugout filled with 11 year olds.
Wow, that non-catalytically-converted smoke brings back the memories…

The part you are leaving out is that illegals (now in the millions), living in the US are almost never vaccinated for measles.

I was explaining this to my elementary school aged kids just a few days ago. We were eating in a restaurant and I told them that when I was their age most restaurants had a smoking and non-smoking section. Of course the smoke did not respect the invisible barrier. The idea that people could just smoke indoors and it was normal really blew their minds.
You're younger than me if you don't remember before there was even that distinction.
