The result is a skin borne "print" which can only be removed by highly technical and expensive laser treatment. It results instead from an overdose of the contaminants in the transport medium, water, during production. You may also have come across articles that allow the Much has also been written about the side effects from the ingestion of colloidal silver, for example, Argyria, which involves discolouration, through chemical action, of the nail beds on hands and feet, a brownish/blue tinge to the face, neck, arms, and sometimes the whole body, which worsens on exposure to sunlight.
