Deep inside the DuPont factories where Teflon was being made, people began to get sick… The factory workers called it “Teflon Flu” 😷.
These were horrible, flu-like symptoms that made them suffer from chills, fevers, and headaches for days 🤒. Just a few whiffs of the toxic fumes coming off the production line would be enough to cause this.
The technical name is Polymer Fume Fever, and only now is it starting to be well documented.
When heated above 300°C, PFA’s give off toxic fumes that are harmful to humans, leading to the horrible symptoms listed above 👆.
Flu-like symptoms might not sound so bad until you realize that’s only because of how big humans are. Serious damage is still occurring.
To other species with smaller lungs, this causes so much damage that it leads to death. Pet birds in particular are extremely vulnerable 🐦.
Here are just a few reports from scientific journals:
❌ Four stove-top burners, underlined with Teflon-coated drip pans, were preheated in preparation for Thanksgiving dinner; 14 birds died within 15 minutes.
❌ A nonstick cookie sheet was placed under an oven broiler to catch the drippings; 107 chicks died.
❌ Water burned off a hot pan; more than 55 birds died.
❌ An electric skillet at 300°F and a space heater were used simultaneously; a pet bird died.
❌ Water being heated for hot cocoa boiled off completely; a pet bird died.
❌ A grill plate on a gas stove used to prepare food at normal temperatures; two birds died on two separate occasions.
Just because humans don’t die when exposed to polymer fumes (which is every time you cook) doesn’t mean it’s not causing permanent damage to your lungs 😧.
If it’s enough to kill birds, it’s enough for me to know Teflon is not safe in my food 🚫.
Repeated high exposure to PFAs leads to all sorts of other illnesses and diseases 🦠.
😤 😡 And the shocking part is, DuPont (the manufacturers of Teflon) has known about the dangers of PFOA.
They always had.
They chose to keep it a secret and did nothing to protect their customers. DuPont has known about its toxic effects since as early as the 1960s and was conducting secret underground medical studies 🤯.
