Why do people turn green when they get sick?!


Question: Why do people turn green when they get sick!?
I know a lot of people think it only happens in cartoons, but I definitely turn green when I am about to throw up or if I just have!. My whole family does!. Anyone know why this happens!? Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
Your face is highly vascularized (has lots of blood vessels in it) which gives Caucasians a nice, healthy, pink tint (I'm assuming you are Caucasian)!. When you get sick, the blood rushed out of your face to your stomach where your body needs it most at the moment!. Without the red tint of blood, you are left with your yellowish skin mixed with bluish-looking vessels!. These colors together give the illusion of green!

Which makes since that, when you feel better and the blood returns to your face, that you no longer look green!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

My face is really white, and when I am about to puke, it just gets paler lol!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
