Can not find any info on it yet online. Still looking. Wonder if it was a fake story passed to Fox somehow?

Anyone else hear the report just now?

What causes people’s skin to turn blue?

The newscaster made it sound like they were having to deal with quite a bit of people. It was a very quick blip and then she moved on to other stuff.

Skin turning blue in Emergency room... I KNOW I’VE HEARD THIS BEFORE!!!

It was something like a wierd reaction to some drug/chemical that reacted with oxygen from the air after the person was “opened up”.... Think Freepers... one of you must also have seen the same show that I saw... ???

Chemical weapons ?

It’s hypoxia. Oxygen starvation. Can be a number of causes, carbon monoxide or sodium nitrite poisoning among them. Cf “Eleven Blue Men” by Berton Roueche.
