Neglected is a delayed sweat color change to indigo blue--black shades; or indirubrin magenta-fuscia-pink stains hours later on moist clothing, as a result of genetic variant Tryptophan metabolism and excretion through the apocrine system as indoxyl amines. Similar to the PUB Syndrome in end result, but related to apocrine transport of constituents of amino acids, urea, and many others though to be renal in excretion, certain individuals have a high amount transported in apocrine sweat, when under exertion/exercise conditions and heat(not heat alone), and discovered apocreine and associated adipose tissue complex enzymes are thought to come into play. The result is often localized, and even shirt soaked, delayed patterns resembling tie-dye shirts from the 1960s. Cases of magenta/fuscia/pink, and delayed blue black are sparse, but exist in reporting(see South African Journal report on pink bathing suit mystery).
