My hand is the orangey yellow hand on the right, compared with my boyfriend's more normal pinky hand on the left.
One day, I noticed that the tops of my fingers and fingernails had turned orange. I dismissed it, imagining it to be some kind of dye from something I'd touched.
Within 3 days it had spread to my wrist. It looked like a wax corpse. It was terrifying and presented me with a difficult dilemma: I didn't want to die, or become severely ill, but on the other hand (lol), I didn't want to miss out on any island fun!
Luckily, my body made the decision for me. I was violently sick and weak for 48 hours although I think that may have been a coincidental bout of food poisoning as firstly, I have no idea how that may of helped get rid of the yellowness and secondly my boyfriend was also sick and he wasn't so yellow.
But alas, as slyly as it had crept up, it crept back down again and my nightmares of looking like a Simpson became less realistic.
I have no idea what induced it, nor how it went away, and I would be thrilled to hear some suggestions and diagnosis of what anyone else thinks about the situation! My GP had no idea so please don't hesitate to drop me a line in the contact me tab!
(Here's a picture of my eyeball next to my yellow fingers and extremely pink face in case that helps your diagnosis! - A doctor friend asked for it in his whatsapp examination at the time!)
I mean, it's just disgusting :'D
