Well this is what I always believed, or rather that the silver surrounds the
enzyme which is used as a primitive lung by the bacteria, so suffocating it.
 But apparently this is in this 1978 article which I have based my knowledge
of silver on, and which has turned out to be largely incorrect, or
exaggerated.  No-one seems to really know the MO of EIS apparently.  If they
do, *please* tell me!  Dee

become resistant to non-breathing?  I mean, can one become resistant to a
pillow over one's airways?  Faith g.
