It's Not Easy Being Blue... But it Will be in 2008

Posted by Emily Farris

Do not adjust your monitor. This man is blue. According to BoingBoing he has argyria, a condition that turns a person's skin blue after using colloidal silver as an antibitoic:

"Karason does not believe drinking the potion is what caused his discoloration. He believes it happened because he rubbed it on his face to treat a skin problem. A medical condition called Argyria has been linked to such discoloration since the days when silver solutions were used as antibiotics.

Whatever the cause, Karason said it is not easy living life as a blue man."


Dude, hang in there. Life is about to get 100 times better for you.
