The powder is believed to be a hazardous material that the individulals were exposed to in East St. Louis, said Jim Silvernail, chief of the Mehlville Fire Protection District.

I didn't see blue in TFA anywhere- the only blue human I know of is this guy who drank colloidal silver everyday for a few years. He is actually that color and so are his organs. Yeah yeah, I saw it on Oprah.

IIRC, that guy did this on purpose. He likes being that color, I believe.

Other news sources are adding the blue skin thing. I'm pretty sure that this one had it in the source link, which was updated afterwards.

Thought it was called "argyrism," which does not kill you, only stains you.

One is from silver, one is an inherited blood disorder that pretty much only existed in appalachia 100 years ago.

"...after several people entered the hospitals after being exposed to a white powdery substance, according to health and fire officials. "


I've seen me a lot of weird shiat in my day, but I ain't never seen a one-legged stripper. I seen me a stripper with one breast. And I seen me a stripper with twelve toes. I've even seen me a stripper with no brains at all, but I ain't never seen a one-legged stripper. And I've been to Morocco.

It was swamp gas reflected off of Venus;
They is no truth to the rumor they were 4 feet tall with long limbs, large eyes and 3 fingers.

No, methemoglobinemia is what happens when your red blood cells are exposed to high enough levels of methemoglobin formers, examples of which include Nitroglycerine, Nitric Oxide, Sodium Nitrite, and Amyl Nitrite.

No, but it makes your car look really stupid and the muffler sound like shiat.

White powdery substance. If East St. Louis, probably drugs.

Geez - Yet another Democrat 'identity' figure. I can hear it now - 'Blue' has racist connotations to it - we should call them 'CYAN'.
