    Solution: don’t use bandaids to begin with - take a small amount of cotton, roll it into a ball and press it against the would, then hold it in place with a weak adhesive patch or, preferably, gauze. Takes a couple minutes, instead of the three seconds of a bandaid, but does that time really make a difference in your life?

      The report says adhesive patches contain PFAS. The adhesive is where PFAS are introduced to bandaids

        That’s why I specifically mentioned weak adhesive patches, which are usually made with simpler processes or even organic sources.
