Methylene blue
Has anyone taken it? Seems like it is the new snake oil rage

It does have legit medical uses. What is the fad?

I'd never heard of it...
"Methylene blue is a medication used in the management and treatment of methemoglobinemia, a condition in which hemoglobin decreases its ability to carry oxygen." https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK557593/

It has been used by the alternative medicine crowd for a while, but it is also used in the hospital on certain patients.
I think it's more visible now because RFK Jr has been filmed using it.

Have used it for years treating fish in my aquariums. Works well for fish. No idea about humans

Right, Methylthioninium chloride is an inhibitor of monoamine oxidase (MAO) A. Very bad drug drug interrelations if one is taking it with any sort of SSRI, SNRI or other MAOIs. Same with opiates (stay away from your local opium den for at least 2 weeks before starting Methylene Blue) and older tricyclic anti-depressants.
