Overview
Silver is a metal found naturally in the environment and is also used in many industries and products, such as jewellery, electronics, and photography. Silver can enter the body through multiple routes, with ingestion being the primary route for silver compounds and colloidal silver proteins. When silver components come into contact with the skin through applications like creams, jewellery, acupuncture needles, catheters, or dental amalgams, adverse effects on the human body can occur. Soluble silver compounds are more readily absorbed compared to metallic or insoluble silver, leading to acute symptoms such as low blood pressure, stomach irritation, and diarrhea. Prolonged inhalation of soluble silver may result in conditions like argyria or argyrosis, and silver in any form can be toxic to the immune, cardiovascular, nervous, or reproductive systems.
