'cus, a while back there was this Thing about it being a toxic carcinogen (and what isn’t, these days, amiright) and… well I happen to be in the customer service side of things and I handle a lot of receipts. Like, a lot alot. Too many. Do I… should I… wig the fuck out? Or is this one of those overstated things, like the big cups that did or did not have lead in them?

    I saw a study a while back that showed bpa contaimination from reciepts in cashiers is pretty concentrated to the fingertips - meaning it’s not system wide. Bpa isn’t that bad so I’d be a lot more concerned about lead pipes and covid and everything else that’s killing you much faster than bpa. (I’m not a doctor, just a chemist)
