Anyone else in the most polluted city on Earth?

Question

Just curious if anyone else can say they actually have experienced the effects of pollution.

I live in China, and we've all heard its soo bad right? Know why?

My white blond hair turned green from using the water. From particles in the air I developed a facial rash where my eyes became scaly and nearly closed over, not dissimilar to a dinosaur. This rash eventually spread to my eyes, where I then dealt with multiple eye infections. When I visited Japan for a month, I spent an entire week waking up soaked from all the icky chemicals exiting my system. Everyone in this city has bad acne which I'm told leaves when they visit the countryside.

It also makes you feel tired and low energy. It leads to ridiculously humid summers where its hard to breathe outside and yellow rain that makes your skin itch.

Wow this was an eye opener! You poor thing......

Answer 2

Move-Relocate-Hurry! A native New Yorker - A highly polluted city- I've never experienced such a thing! And my heart goes out to you!

I simply could not tolerate taking a shower (with the expectation of getting clean!) and having my hair turn green! Nor, could I live with icy chemicals oozing out of my skin. Nor will I live in an environment where even Pro-Active couldn't cure my acne (if I had acne.).

Summer is my favorite season. After a summer rain, I look forward to seeing rainbows. Sometimes I go into the backyard and dance in the rain with the kids.

I couldn't handle yellow rain that causes my skin to itch!

I need to hold onto what little bit of energy I have left, and I must breathe!

If the country is better, flee to higher ground!

Move to the country and have healthy skin,normal hair, clean water and breathe some fresh air! Relocate. You can always visit that other place-If you dare...

Good Luck to you!

I think you are a drama queen, possibly a liar. I have friends in China and they say you are probably exaggerating, maybe hitting that opium pipe too much!. Some cities are very bad and others not so bad. I plan to boycott the Olympics! Free Tibet! If your story is true next time include pictures! Contact your local communist party and cry to them! Ever heard of political action! Get busy cry baby!
