Argyria, caused by an excessive buildup of silver dust in the body, has the interesting side effect
Argyria, caused by an excessive buildup of silver dust in the body, has the interesting side effect of permanently dying the skin blue-grey. Paul Karason, an advocate for the use of silver in medicine, used colloidal silver in attempts to treat various ailments, as well as rubbed silver salve on his face. Dubbed “Papa Smurf”, he passed away in 2013, from causes unrelated to his metallic habits.There is currently no scientific backing to support colloidal silver having any health benefits or healing abilities, and it has been banned from medicinal use since 1999. In addition, the side effect of skin discolouration vastly detracts from any (unlikely) benefits of silver consumption. -- source link
