        That should depend on how the chemicals accumulate though. If all the plastic ends up in your blood and never gets naturally filtered out, it could make sense. Maybe it builds up in your fat/muscles instead though, or gets filtered over time and the amount in your system is the same as the amount in what you have recently eaten, idk

        Somehow I don’t think they’d mind too much, provided you give them a nice leech habitat.

        Until Socraleech comes along and they force him to suck hemlock.

          That’s a special type of cruelty when victim does not mind. Like when you give a drug addict tons of heroin.

      It isn’t. Blood donation reduces PFASs and iron buildup (too much iron in the blood is bad). And leeches are used in certain procedures, although I haven’t heard of them being used to remove microplastics (yet).
