When a Vulcan has diminished kidney function ammonia builds up in the blood. The mixture of excess of ammonia with the cooper in the Vulcan blood results in a blue tint which secretes from the skin. The blue tint can be seen on the cuffs and collar of shirts and is usually the first sign of kidney failure among Vulcans. Thus you have the condition commonly know as Blue Collar Fear.
