British builder Tommy Lynch woke up one morning after sleeping for 14 hours straight. A friend woke him up after being concerned that Lynch had slept so long, and found that Lynch was blue. That wasn't anything to do with his mood, but because his skin had turned an alarming shade of blue! They went directly to a hospital, where Lynch was given oxygen while being examined.
The first thing you think of when someone turns blue is a lack of oxygen. But Lynch didn't seem to have trouble breathing, despite his anxiety over his blue skin. You might assume it was due to colloidal silver, which was touted as a cure-all a few years ago, and turned some people's skin blue. Lynch had not been using colloidal silver. The cause of his malady was discovered in the emergency department, quite by accident. Read his story at People magazine. -via Fark
