Pavel, 34, prided himself on never getting sick. But one morning, he noticed a thick, black coating on his tongue. Days later, his skin began peeling in brittle, gray sheets, and the black residue worsened. Terrified, he sought medical help.

Intensive treatment saved him, but the ordeal left lasting scars—and a stark warning: hidden environmental hazards can silently destroy even the healthiest body.
