Doctors Baffled By Green Sweat

Green

Doctors in China admit they are baffled after a man began to perspire green sweat.

Cheng Shunguo, 52, of Wuhan city, says his sweat turned green in the middle of November. “I noticed that my underwear and bed sheets were all green, and even the water in the shower,” he said.

Cheng says he feels no discomfort, but went to hospital because he was worried about his condition. Doctors thoroughly cleaned his armpits but it took only 10 minutes for his sweat to turn a piece of white gauze green again. They have carried out blood tests on Cheng, but found everything to be normal.

“We can’t find the cause,” admitted a spokesman for the hospital which reported the case to the media in the hope of finding a solution

    If it's from its arm pits (axilla), it's probably Chromhidrosis.

    Its like that movie Kansen (Infection)! XD If I were him I would enjoy freaking people out with green sweat. Go to the gym, start sweating, scream "HULK!" and run out.

    Hello: Several years ago I had a job cutting 15-20 thin sheeted copper sheets into birds and small animal. I worked for an artist who did some beautiful things with items including my copper. Long story short I began to sweet green from my hands and up the arm to the elbow. I never got sick and I was sure it came from the copper? I only worked there for the summer. I was surprised when I seen this blog on green sweat I just had to add my two cents. This is the first time leaving comments. Thanks
