The doctor is in and has some bad news and good news.
The bad news is that most of us has the equivalent of 7 credit cards worth of plastic floating around in our bodies. We ingest roughly the weight of 1 credit card a week through the food we eat, the water we drink, packaging, and even the air we breathe. It's everywhere.
The good news is that 90% of it in water can be eliminated by boiling (Assuming the water is hard). Apparently, the plastics bond to the limescale, and I guess you would just wash the pot or kettle. IDK.
That being said, what about all the other stuff like the food, the air, and packaging? Many unanswered questions. How is it getting in the air, and does that just apply to cities or everywhere? How is it getting in my food? If I go to the produce section, how do I avoid the plastic bags, or does it even matter? Half of the stuff around me is made of plastic (My computer, mouse, printer, desk fan, phone, etc...). Even the plastic stuff we buy is packaged in plastic.
I think I will just buy bubbly water in an aluminum can and try not to breathe. Resistance is futile.

Porcelain Dissolution = Chemical Reaction Porcelain is highly resistant to most household substances. If MiracleGro dissolved it, that’s a red flag for a strong chemical reaction—possibly involving acids, oxidizers, or degraded compounds.
Black Water = Possible Contamination or Oxidation Water turning black could be due to oxidized metals, mold, or chemical residues. While black water isn’t always dangerous, when it’s linked to fertilizer, it suggests something more serious.
Not Safe for Plants (or You) Even if it were just old, MiracleGro contains synthetic fertilizers that degrade over time. But in your case, the extreme reactions mean it could harm plant roots, soil microbiomes, and potentially leach toxins into the environment.
