Show - I Significa CONTINUED The Blue People of Kentucky 1962. Luke Combs took his sick to the University of Kentucky But it wasn't Mrs. Combs attracted attention. Said Dr. Charles H. Behlen II. then a medical student at the hospital. "Luke was just as blue as Lake Louise on a cool summer day." A team led by Dr. Madison Cawein made a medical study of Lukes condition and found that he had methemoglobinemia, a rare blood disease caused by an enzymatic deficiency that reduces the oxygen-carryin- g capacity of the red blood cells. Fewer than 500 cases have been found worldwide, and most of these have been in Appalachia, where inbreeding has facilitated the transmission of such genetic illnesses. The mountain people in the region are accustomed to hearing about the "blue Combses" and the "blue Fugates." While the disease rarely causes physical problems, it does sometimes cause embarrassment. One blue person told Behlen and Dr. Cawein, "We dont go to town. People think we look funny." Some persons with the disease only "show blue" at certain times, such as when they are angry, tired, sick or have had too much to drink. The color they exhibit has been variously described as that of "an oxford-clot- h blue shirt," "like the skin of a damson plum," "blue as indigo" and "gun-metblue." The condition can be easily controlled by taking a medication called methylene blue." Since the drug has the curious side effect of turning the patient's urine blue, physicians have explained it to the Kentuckians by saying. "You're peeing the blue out of you." In the 1970s. a crew that was filming a documentary on the disease traveled to Troublesome Creek, Ky.. to conduct interviews with some of the blue people. When the director found a woman with methemoglobinemia. he complained to his associates. "But she isn't blue enough!" The film crew packed up and left. In INVITATION TO OUR READERS information.
