What? Blue people? I once knew a guy who was blue (actually kind of blue-green). My parents told me he had some kind of heart condition.

I just read a story about the blue people. It's a condition that was inherited from one man. I forget his name--Martin.... Fascinating.

The cardiac drug Amiodarone can give the skin a blue color as a side effect. A chronic lack of oxygen can also lead to a blue appearance (cyanosis).

I knew one such person too. We grew up together.

Did he have swollen dark-blueish fingertips? He had a severe heart condition.
