Patted on and sprayed water and CS. and the consensus then was that the CS was cooler and nicer to have on the skin.
For it does not do much for indigestion, which is usually as a result of my stress and tension. But CS is definitely very good as a remedy for upset tum, due to bad food or the latest cold bug going around. I would guess that the tick head inflaming as a result of taking CS could be a herx. The 'nice' thing about that is that you can expect the head to either emerge undramatically out of your skin as something like a dried blackhead, or that the head will be totally absorbed. Herx or irritation? I think, if it gets worse and never gets better or reduces in effect then it probably irritation. It it gets worse but then gets better or the effects reduce then probably a herx type reaction. -- The Silver List is a moderated forum for discussing Colloidal Silver.
