Errm...my face is leaking blue stuff?!

This sounds insane but over the last two weeks or so I've noticed bright blue marks on my pillow. The kind of colour of that Carex blue handwash. Isn't makeup as I only wear black, nor toothpaste/mouthwash and all my toothpaste is white. What the hell could it be Shock

Any ideas at all MN??

Don't worry OP

I still only have 2 arms, and DS is 6 now so can't have been cyanide poisoning. Not sure what the other thing is

I don't know if I still leak blue .... I just bought black underwear so I'd never know after that trip to maternity

Ooooh! This happened to me when I dyed my hair black! It was coming out of they dye in my hair! It looked like someone had opened an ink cartridge on my pillow

I reckon your DH has got some surreal gaslighting plan going on. Might you be in a David Lynch film? Do you have a lot of red velvet curtains and zigzag flooring?

The you being an octopus is a highly likely scenario

You'd think someone would have pointed it out by now!

Googling Blue Tears is impossible! Is a band and a Shania Twain song and a natural phenomenon involving algae (v.pretty!)

This is one of the funniest threads I’ve read in ages! Nothing useful to add sorry op but thanks for the laugh 😆

ArabellaUmbrella · 20/12/2018 22:45

Ah OK. Well I'll let you off but will check back to see if you've posted a pic from tomorrow's fresh blue-nessGrinWink

I was actually sort of worried but it's cheered me up rather too!

Are you going mouldy?

Or blowing raspberries in the night (even though raspberries are red, they stain things blue).

DaedricLordSlayer · 20/12/2018 22:57

just Google Chromhidrosis

Wetdressinggownsleeve · 20/12/2018 23:02

Do you have tentacles OP? If so I'm leaning towards octopus.

Dontsayyouloveme · 20/12/2018 23:05

Please let it be Chromhidrosis. I need to know that it does actually happen in real life. Can you imagine, like unicorn 🦄 sweat... wow!

Sorry haven't rtft but it's possibly linked to vaping. Do you vape? The filters have a substance which can become a problem when it leaks into the mouth. HTH

Nope no vaping...I just thought I had a eureka moment and that it might have been the colourant in my melatonin gummies. Ate...licked ANOTHER pillowcase....no blue Angry

You’re a cuttlefish? Or a crab? You’re right, it’s impolite that no one has mentioned that in life...

MagicKeysToAsda · 20/12/2018 23:13

Does your Ancestry DNA thing show you to be part Cookie Monster?
Do you have a cat with opposable thumbs and a fondness for biros?
Have you tucked something inside your pillowcase and forgotten, like a blue slush puppy?

You're a super advanced alien replacement and even you don't know. When they are ready to colonise you will be activated... do you work in government or some official capacity?

HildaZelda · 20/12/2018 23:15

What colours pyjamas/nightie are you wearing? Could there be dye coming off somewhere?

PointlessPigeon · 20/12/2018 23:16

A real life elf on the shelf doing it?

AwdBovril · 20/12/2018 23:20

Do you use eyelash / brow dye? Fancy skincare routine? You're going to have to test! Try a different pillowcase.

I'm loving this thread! Grin

You need HoneyDragon, she's the expert in turning people blue...
