Social media has been buzzing with claims of chronic health problems linked to an unusual fog, dubbed ‘Fogvid24’ that has blanketed multiple countries over the past week.
This dense, mysterious fog has been described as having a chemical-like smell and containing sparkling particles, raising concerns among those affected.
Many individuals have reported experiencing symptoms such as sore throats, fatigue, and flu-like illnesses after being exposed to the fog.
The phenomenon has also disrupted travel, leading to the cancellation of numerous flights.
Growing Health Concerns
Platforms like TikTok and X (formerly Twitter) have seen a surge in posts from users questioning the nature of the fog.
One TikTok user documented their experience, stating, “Ever since this fog appeared on Christmas Day, I’ve had a sore throat, felt lethargic, lost my appetite, and struggled with flu-like symptoms. It’s like my energy has been drained—I’ve been sweating and unable to sleep.”
Watch
Their post quickly garnered attention, with others chiming in about similar experiences.
“I got a sore throat right after the fog rolled in,” one commenter said, while another added, “I’ve been dealing with constant headaches since the fog appeared.”
As more people shared their stories, the term “Fogvid24” began trending, with some speculating that the fog is a global phenomenon rather than an isolated occurrence.
Reports of illness have surfaced from various locations, including Kentucky, Sweden, and Finland, further fueling suspicions.
“Chemical Fog”
Some users have described the fog as having a sulfur-like smell and taste, coining the term “chemical fog.”
A post on X noted the lack of typical water droplets on a windshield when driving through it, which many found unusual for regular fog.
Another user reported falling ill with cold or flu symptoms almost immediately after brief exposure to the fog.
Such accounts have only added to the mounting speculation about its cause and effects.
While authorities have yet to address these claims, the growing number of reports has sparked widespread concern, leaving many to wonder if the fog is a natural weather event or something more alarming.
