Turn Yourself Blue – for diehard smurfs fans
Well I would’ve thought it impossible but apparently you can turn yourself blue. A 58 yr old man, Paul Karason, used a silver compound to treat a bad case of dermatitis over 10 years ago. The result was a Papa Smurf lookalike.
Mr Karason has been self medicating and making his own preparations of the Colloidal silver; which is a suspension of silver in a liquid, usually distilled water. It was used thousands of years ago for its antibacterial properties but been replaced by penicillin in modern times. It was banned by the FDA in 1999 as it causes argyria.
“I’m in a place right now where it’s very difficult for me to make my own, and my resources are limited and it’s very expensive” he told the host of the NBC’s Today Show.
He also said: ‘[My skin] has lightened up, it is not major but it is lightening up. I am actually going to try green.’
