You've heard of the Blue Man Group- those funny musicians who play improvised instruments (you know, anything from PVC pipes to just about anything they can get their hands on).

But unlike the members of BMG, this man can't take his paint off. Because his skin really is blue. Or bluish.

About 14 years ago, Paul Karason, 57, of Madera, California used a substance called colloidal silver, which is made from extracting silver from metal. It converts into water with electrical currents, and you drink it. It's billed as a cure.
Karason says that he rubbed it on his face, and that may have contributed to the rare, yet harmless condition called Argyria. (go to http://wikipedia.org/wiki/Argyria for information). Kind of the opposite of vitiligo, perhaps.
He does not plan on treating this.
