A man who turned blue after self-medicating for a skin condition says his hue is lightening.
Paul Karason, 58, has the strange Papa Smurf look as a side effect of using a silver compound which he used more than a decade ago to treat a bad case of dermatitis on his face.
But he told NBC's Today Show that his skin is lightening because he is now using the self-administered doses of colloidal silver less.
'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 explained to host Matt Lauer, a year after first appearing on the programme.
Colloidal silver is a suspension of silver in a liquid base - in this case, distilled water.
Silver has antibacterial properties and has been used to fight infection for thousands of years.
But it went out of use when penicillin, which is far more effective, was developed.

I think it was too much of the blue pill of viagra...
Cue post of crackpot Libertarian candidate....
Reminds me of the losertarian from Montana that turned himself blue.
Papa Smurf!
What a dingaling. But there are people here on FR who swear by this kind of quackery.
Dude. The doctor can give you a nice cream that will make the dermatitis go away without turning you blue.

This is not a blue ping
Speaking of dingalings, remember this?
My Ding-A-Ling-A-Ling
(Chuck Berry)
When I was a little biddy boy
My grandma bought me a cute little toy
Two Silver bells on a string
She told me it was my ding-a-ling-a-ling
My Ding-A-Ling My Ding-A-Ling won’t you play with My Ding-A-Ling
My Ding-A-Ling My Ding-A-Ling won’t you play with My Ding-A-Ling
When I was little boy In Grammar school
Always went by the very best rule
But Evertime the bell would ring
You’d catch me playing with my ding-a-ling
Once while climbing the garden wall,
Slipped and fell had a very bad fall
I fell so hard I heard birds sing,
But I held on to My ding-a-ling
Once while swimming cross turtle creek
Man them snappers right at my feet
Sure was hard swimming cross that thing
with both hands holding my dingaling
Now this here song it ain’t so bad
Prettiest little song that you ever had
And those of you who will not sing
must be playing with your on Ding-a-ling
He better cut down on his Aspartame intake!

Colloidal silver is amazing for clearing up skin conditions. My dad had a skin condition on his forehead for years that nothing would cure. Colloidal silver bandages cured him completely in three weeks.
