Micro-aggression—The plastic gun of racism; you can sneak this one through security most of the time because it is comprised of nonracist ways of being racist, nonsexist ways of being sexist, and the like. E.g., You’re not like other BLANK people, or, You speak English very well.

[...]he also had a device which looked rather like a largish electronic calculator. This had about a hundred tiny flat press buttons and a screen about four inches square on which any one of a million "pages" could be summoned at a moment's notice. It looked insanely complicated, and this was one of the reasons why the snug plastic cover it fitted into had the words Don't Panic printed on it in large friendly letters. The other reason was that this device was in fact that most remarkable of all books ever to come out of the great publishing corporations of Ursa Minor - The Hitch Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy. The reason why it was published in the form of a micro sub meson electronic component is that if it were printed in normal book form, an interstellar hitch hiker would require several inconveniently large buildings to carry it around in.

In the process of producing a solid, ‘spreadable’ butter alternative, we now have a product that is one molecular structure short of plastic. The cells do not recognise this. It fits nowhere and causes untold havoc and damage everywhere.
Barbara O'Neill (Self Heal By Design - By Barbara O'Neill: The Role Of Micro-Organisms For Health)
Yes, microplastics can come from degrading plastics, no matter what their shape or form. Micro plastics in the bloodstream would be most likely to come from ingestion; that is either by eating or drinking contaminated products as it then becomes easier to enter the bloodstream. Other microplastics would enter the body by inhalation when we breathe. In general, most of the microplastics, in the body, are the PET type (polyethylene terephthalate) which comes from drink bottles, food containers and food wrapping. So we need to be more careful and stringent. If not, then we run the risk of truly becoming a plastic society.

Microplasticosis will be result of an invasive entity residing within all living things. What is this entity? Micro-plastics! They're here right now in all food chains, within all life and beyond. Will there be a cure? Sadly, no because it will be in everything and everywhere. We breathe them in. We ingest them. We cook with them. We drink them. We sleep with them & work with them each and every day. Sadly, in our race to embrace technology and a life of laziness & indifference we have created our own demise. They will change us and everything else in a way that we never thought possible. Microplasticosis...Remember the name because you, your family, your friends, and even your pets will have it in some form or another.
