Chromohidrosis. Never seen it, but it was on the boards.

Yes I do. When I was younger and into weightlifting there was a Steroid dealer who also had illegal but effective (if dangerous)weight loss pills. I remember one that was made from an industrial dye. If taken weight loss would result from an increase of the metabolism and higher body temperature. The drawback was death from any sort of overdose, and also “you would sweat colored sweat that would ruin cloths and bedsheets. I believe that the color was a yellow, but I am not certain.

The fact that the man is Chinese makes me think an industrial chemical or coloring may be involved. Perhaps dumped into his drinking water or used at his workplace. China doesn’t care much for environmental concerns.

I told you what I recall, perhaps someone more knowledgeable could give you the specifics as to the exact dye I am refering to.

Riki.

He must drink Gatorade.

Lemon-lime would be my guess.
