It all depends on what you mean by "preserve." I've seen Egyptian mummies; that don't look like me.

As ffor the chemicals in our bloodstream, I do not believe we have made it worse. 200 years ago, people were dying of lead and mercury poisoning, and had been since the Romans used lead to line their aqueducts. If you start thinking about sanitation, I don't want to even imagine what most people smeared onto their food from their hands, 500 years ago.

We eat nasty things, we inhale nasty things. The things change, but the situation doesn't. Don't worry about it, Ish; those smokes will surely kill any other chemical inhabitant of your lungs.
