Cancer-Causing ‘Forever Chemicals’ Found In Leading Bandage Brands, Heres How They Can Impact Your Health [Video]

A recent study has unveiled concerning levels of toxic “forever chemicals” in several popular bandage brands, raising potential health concerns including cancer risks. This discovery, detailed in a Mamavation and Environmental Health News report, sheds light on the presence of PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances) in widely used bandages, such as those offered by Band-Aid and Curad.

The study’s significant findings indicate that many of these bandages contain detectable amounts of organic fluorine, a telltale sign of harmful PFAS compounds. Of the 40 bandages tested across 18 different brands, 26 showed organic fluorine levels surpassing 10 parts per million (ppm). The implications of these findings are alarming, especially considering that bandages are commonly applied to open wounds, potentially making it easier for these cancer-causing agents to be absorbed into the bloodstream.
