SN causing blue skin

[SomewhatLoved]

Saw this posted on an educational medical account on social media for people working in emergency/intensive medicine.



The post was talking about different things that can cause skin colour changes in patients with acute conditions. Another example was how hydroxocobolamin (carbon monoxide poisoning antidote) can make your mucous membranes and urine dark red.

It's not surprising, SN interferes with how your body carries and uses oxygen. It was more so just kind of eerie seeing it, SN toxicity is something very fringe. It's obviously become more known, it used to be unheard of. People didn't die from it until around 2018 or so when this forum came to be, then it started being reported on in medical literature and the media as a suicide method. Sort of creeped me out, I guess.

It is a little unnerving to see. But all things normal considered SN literally just causes hypoxia. Good thing is once you're dead you won't see your body!

I find it a little intriguing too, to be honest.

I have always wanted grey/alien skin and patterned skin, so this is actually really cool to me. Wonder what determines the pattern on the skin.

They are less blue than I thought . A lot less creepy looking than gunshot victims
