Mystery silver exposure leaves man permanently gray
An 84-year-old man in Hong Kong developed grey skin due to a buildup of silver in his tissues, diagnosed as argyria. This rare condition, often stemming from prolonged silver exposure, turns the skin bluish-grey when exposed to sunlight. The source of the man's silver exposure remains unidentified, and there is no known cure, though laser treatments can reduce discoloration.
