Dark Rx: A dark medicine podcast that takes you on a wild ride through past and present medical practices with your host Kassie and Casey. A weekly podcast filled with dark humor and riveting sarcastic banter.
Episode 30: A PSA about PFOA. The non-sticking chemical, stuck to you.
Did you know, you have a chemical used to create Teflon inside of your blood stream right now? Yes, you. Reading this. This week we talk about a very real problem and how we almost didn't even know about. Thankful for a farmer, a lawyer, and a grandmother, we learn about DuPont chemicals and the negligent toxic dumping that lead to a global problem. This episode goes great with a shot of vodka.
