  • the comparison with “water poisoning” isn’t valid since it’s not like you overdose and you die, instead it accumulates in your body and has life shortening effects. Your body normally digests things in a non poisonous dose and it leaves your body after a while, that’s what’s different.

    As for the effects:

    from https://www.epa.gov/pfas/our-current-understanding-human-health-and-environmental-risks-pfas : " Current peer-reviewed scientific studies have shown that exposure to certain levels of PFAS may lead to:

    • Reproductive effects such as decreased fertility or increased high blood pressure in pregnant women.
    • Developmental effects or delays in children, including low birth weight, accelerated puberty, bone variations, or behavioral changes.
    • Increased risk of some cancers, including prostate, kidney, and testicular cancers.
    • Reduced ability of the body’s immune system to fight infections, including reduced vaccine response.
    • Interference with the body’s natural hormones.
    • Increased cholesterol levels and/or risk of obesity. " The list is only gonna grow imo
