does it ever get out … ?

If it stays in, and I'm sure most does, where does it go.
Put another way, are the particles coarse enough to lodge in a blood capillary, blocking it?
It could cause a stroke in the brain, or a heart attack in heart muscle.

That doesn’t seem to be an “if”, now!

A good question, but perhaps not easily answered unless the test subjects are willing to participate in a long-term study.

I am wondering: if it gets in there, does it ever get out, going out of the body in the human waste, or does it accumulate?
