    Worst part is that the mutations created by the lead in the body, led to the mutated Charmeleon body. And those mutations he got from the asbestos, match the Charizard body.

    Thematically, it fits

    Only Arceus knows what is to come for the next stage… Olestra mutations?

      I read it as comparing the three exposures to each other.

      The first evolution, Charmander was exposed to lead and the toxic effects of lead are pretty fast acting. Meaning they were weakened the quickest and couldn’t evolve.

      Charmeleon was exposed to asbestos which has latent toxic effects, they show up decades after exposure. So the Charmeleon lived quite a while before they showed any noticeable effects.

      The final evolution was exposed to micro plastics and because, so far, micro plastics seem to be so unreactive they just chill doing nothing the Charazard had an opportunity to evolve.

      And even old people have the microplastics. Isn’t it they can’t do a study with a control group because every single living person has the microplastics?

    The toxicity of micro plastics is very minor. To get to the point where it is a problem you need to be exposed to it for a very long time.

    I think our asbestos is halogenated organic chemicals like PFAS. They are toxic in every way and we are addicted to their use in food chemistry. Not to eat or anything but to make the packaging look nice.

    Because they are indestructible by any natural way their dose in the water supply is ever rising. The cost of health issues is already in the hundred billions.

    Micro plastics might be a problem for our children when the dosage in clean water gets to extreme levels.

      Elder Millenials and young Gen X can have all 3 if they grew up near a busy highway in a home built before the 1980s.

        Lucky for us, that’s not the only vector! Baby foods keep getting recalled because of lead contamination, and the FDA just released a new limit on lead content in baby food.

        Except, they are just guidelines and are not enforceable.

          Thanks republicans, next stop: Upton Sinclair was a communist and we should leave food safety to the experts: the mega corps.

    and our children full of microplastics (because it’s passed down through the placenta and breast milk)
