Drinking water in plastic bottles contains countless particles too small to see. New research finds that people who drink water from them on a daily basis ingest far more microplastics than those who don’t.
This made me wonder do uncontacted peoples have microplastics in them in large amounts like we all do? Like say the Sentinelese, for instance? I’m sure they do have some at least, despite them not using it, but maybe not nearly to the extent we do? This isn’t me advocating for using uncontacted peoples for studies and so on, obviously that’s not a moral way to go at all. Just a curiosity thing. If so, then if this is the huge ticking time bomb we suspect it might be then maybe we’ll all die off and they’ll be pretty much the only ones left. Maybe even unaware for the most part that we all died off. Yeah I’m just rambling at this point…

They definitely have less of those, but given that we’ve found microplastics in deep sea creatures, I wouldn’t think they have a lot less
