It ain't easy being blue

Tell that to Paul Karason the 57-year-old resident of Madera, Ca who after living in Oregon has moved to Madera after months of ridicule for being well...blue.

The smurf like effect was due to a substance called colloidal silver which is noted to help cure ailments. Though he drank it (it goes into water with an electrical current) that process wasn't the cause of said blue pigmentation but rather Karason rubbing it on his face to help aid his skin.

"The change was so gradual that I didn't perceive it and for people around me, likewise," Karason said. "It was just so gradual that no one really noticed. It wasn't until a friend that I hadn't seen in several months came by my parents' place to see me and he asked me 'what did you do?'"
