Deep Inside The Dupont Factories Where Teflon Was Being Made

Deep Inside The Dupont Factories Where Teflon Was Being Made, People Were Starting To Get Sick… The factory workers called it “Teflon Flu”.

Horrible, flu-like symptoms that made them sick with chills, fevers and headaches for days.

Just a few whiffs of the toxic fumes coming off the production line would be enough.

The technical name is polymer fume fever and only now is it starting to be well documented.

You see 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 don’t sound so bad until you realise, 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 it leads to death.

Pet birds in particular,

Here are just a few of the reports from scientific journals looking at this:

❌Four stove top burners, underlined with Teflon-coated drip pans, were preheated in preparation for Thanksgiving dinner; 14 birds died within 15 minutes

❌Nonstick cookie sheet was placed under oven broiler to catch the drippings; 107 chicks died

❌Water burned off a hot pan; more than 55 birds died ⁷
Electric skillet at 300°F and space heater were used simultaneously; pet bird died

❌Water being heated for hot cocoa boiled off completely; pet bird died

❌Grill plate on 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) it doesn’t mean it might not be 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), have known about the dangers of PFOA.

They always had.

They’d declined to make it public or do anything to protect their customers.

They’d known about its toxic effects since as early as the 60’s and they were conducting secret underground medical studies.
