“If I was shipping milk in Michigan, I’d still be in business,” said Fred Stone, a Maine farmer who euthanized about 80 percent of his dairy cattle herd after finding contamination in 2016.

The evidence indicating that PFOS suppresses multiple aspects of the immune system supports the overall conclusion that PFOS alters immune function in humans.

You're immune system has to work double, sometimes 5x more to get this stuff out of your system. I imagine a whole 4. ppb of this would be like nuking your immune system.

On the bright side, you managed to distill the worst parts of Kemo into meat. That is some pure comic book evil genius right there.
