Hi Kathryn, "well, wouldn't it?" Hey, I was asking you! <g> Apparently the ionic nature of water itself, adding H2O2, or some organic hydrocarbons do not cause the ionic silver to disappear. But I was wondering, since there has been discussion of various gels, silver proteins, silver nylon bandages, and so on on the list, if you were suggesting something along these lines could be formed: some other useful [ionic?] silver compound. - - -
"Silver by itself is pretty safe and non-toxic. Silver in compound form is not either, most of the time. It has become something entirely different, and has new properties specific to whichever compound has been made." - - - - Guess not.
