A number of people have reported experiencing eye pain, vision problems, and sunburnt skin after attending ApeFest, a Bored Ape Yacht Club NFT collection event Nov 3-5th in Hong Kong. One person posted he woke up at 4am and could not see anymore. They rushed to the hospital where they are hoping to make a full recovery but were diagnosed with UV eye damage. It turns out, someone was almost certainly using full-spectrum UV-C (often called germicidal) lights instead of black lights. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The same thing happened at the Hypebest event in 2017<\/a> in Hong Kong. It’s not like this kind of harm is unique. Like the Jagermeister event that left a person in a coma<\/a>, you better know your science.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BigClive on Youtube<\/a> (who does amazing videos about extremely dangerous<\/a> and counterfeit<\/a> electronic devices you can buy and should be cautious of) recently uploaded a video and found the likely culprit. In the photo of the area with the toilets there were fluorescent tubes which are the characteristic teal-blue of mercury vapor discharge which emits quite a bit of UV-C and ozone as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
