thewayneMy mind boggles.
Apparently someone installed the wrong kind of ultraviolet lights to light up the stage at an expo for Bored Ape Yacht Club in Hong Kong last weekend and a number of people experienced severe sun burn and EYE DAMAGE. I mean, I experience eye damage looking at Bored Ape NFTs, apparently this was much worse to the point of people being unable to see! Most sought treatment at local hospitals and I guess didn't require hospitalization, the article is pretty short. The organizers say that less than 1% of attendees and workers were affected.
So that's the new line: NFTs cause blindness and skin cancer!
Frankly, I'm amazed that there would be enough people to attend such an event, much less in Hong Kong.

UPDATE: the people who set up the lights installed UV-C lights which are used to sterilize ENTIRE ROOMS. Sounds like they used the same people who measured the track for the Pan Olympics Games.

We have a problem with the bottle becoming a bit algal even with using distilled water after a few weeks of use.
