Tommy Lynch, a 42-year-old construction worker, woke up one afternoon in November to find his skin had turned a shocking shade of blue. This unexpected transformation led to a panicked rush to A&E, only for doctors to discover an incredibly mundane, yet hilarious, reason for his Smurf-like appearance.
According to LADBible, Tommy, who hails from Castle Gresley, Derbyshire, had been feeling a bit under the weather and tired. When he looked in the mirror, he was stunned to see himself resembling an “Avatar.” His friend, who works as a carer, was so concerned by his blue hue, thinking he might be oxygen-deprived, that he insisted Tommy head straight to the hospital.
