Well, good news, on TikTok, Dr Carrie Madej shared ingredients for a bath that will suck out the poison AND the nanobots allowing you to outsmart our overlords. Baking soda and epsom salts will remove the radiation, bentonite clay will suck out the poisons and borax will take care of those nasty robots in your bloodstream.
