They don't like this to be known.

Yeah, DuPont doesn't want you to know that PFAS was dumped into a water supply during the manufacturing of Teflon either, and a farmer's livestock kept getting cancer and dying after drinking from a contaminated stream. I'm never buying Teflon again!

None of this is going to do anything at all to substantively reduce a man's ingestion of this substance after exposure in the field. Washing will not sufficiently remove the substance from garments. This is mere window dressing to make people feel like they're doing something helpful.

[@josephrobinson5452]

Yeah I agree

[@HerpDerpNV]

So the same as what you do to decon your gear & self after a structure fire where no Class B foam was used. Yawn

[@ayatotakema1194]

Just use dish soap

[@jaxrules2892]

doesn’t work for class b (flammable liquids) though
