Sudden Green Stains along Gums

[u/LizardAbkn33]

I've recently become pretty sick in the last week and a half and this is also when I've noticed a sudden Green stain appear where tartar and plaque builds up in-between my teeth and along my gums. I'm convinced I have cyclospora but I'm getting more tests done as I continue to have diarrhea, vomiting every few days. I was given an antibiotic (zythromax) which did nothing. I noticed green around my teeth when I initially got sick as I brush twice a day, floss, and have never ever had this happen before even when I used to drink green smoothies. Does anyone know what could cause this? And could it be linked to my sickness that the Drs can't diagnose? Other than my illness, my mouth is fine, tongue is normal color too. The green appeared about 5 days prior to the vomiting starting in my sickness if it matters. The picture attached is after brushing so it isn't as bad but I still can't get the green off with flossing.
