Yes. Studies show that human exposure to PFOA is widespread, and that most people in the U.S. have PFOA in their blood. It is unlikely that anyone, even if they did not drink contaminated water, will have a level of “zero” PFOA in their blood.

Many chemicals in this group, including perfluorooctane sulfonic acid (PFOS) and perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA), have been a concern because they do not break down in the environment, and they build up in wildlife. PFCs have been found in rivers and lakes and in many types of animals on land and in the water.

Oils such as geranium, lavender, and lemon are generally considered safer options, but confirm this with your vet before using them. Diffusing can add the potentially healing molecules of essential oils into the air, allowing both you and your bird to breathe them in and become absorbed into the bloodstream.
