The Fugates, also known as the "Blue People of Kentucky," are a historic family in the hills of Kentucky, recognized for their genetic trait causing the rare blood disorder methemoglobinemia, which results in blue-tinted skin. The anomaly originated in the 19th century from the union of Martin Fugate and Elizabeth Smith, carriers of the recessive methemoglobinemia gene. The limited gene pool within the local area led to a significant number of descendants inheriting the condition. Despite potential health implications, many Fugate family members lived long and healthy lives. Notably, Luna Stacy, one of the "bluest" of the blue Fugates, had 13 children and lived to the age of 84. Medical attention from hematologist Madison Cawein III and nurse Ruth Pendergrass helped shed light on the genetic anomaly, leading to successful treatment with methylene blue. The last known descendant born with the blue skin characteristic was Benjamin Stacy, born in 1975, who eventually lost the distinctive coloration. The Fugates have been referenced in various works of literature and popular culture, including novels like "The Book Woman of Troublesome Creek" and "Blue-Skinned Gods." Their unique story continues to captivate and intrigue people to this day.
