Green sweat puzzles Chinese doctors
A Chinese man has been seeking medical help after his sweat turned green.
The man from Guangzhou first noticed the problem while moving furniture with a friend.
He claims bright green liquid began pouring down his arms and forehead.
But so far doctors have been left puzzled by the appearance of coloured sweat. Their only theory so far is that the condition may be caused by a mystery parasite inside the patient's body.
The Southern Metropolitan News quotes a doctor at the Guangzhou Friendship Hospital saying he had read of cases of red and blue sweat in ancient medical books but never green sweat.

I don't post Ananova reports anymore without another backup report that isn't derived from them and this seems to confirm it from another source:
Green sweat a riddle

Doctors in southern China are baffled by a man whose sweat is green, according to a newspaper report.
The man, from Guangzhou, Guangdong province, sought help after discovering his white tee-shirts were turning green under the arms within a few minutes of him putting them on.
Doctors were unable to find a cause for the green sweat, which they believe is a medical first, and think it may be caused by a parasite in his body, the Hong Kong edition of the China Daily reported.
