Hard to say. The body concentrates things it wants to get rid of into
the roots of hairs and nails, to put into them as they grow. The
diffusion makes it appear that it is indeed in the nails themselves, as
opposed to the bed. However my nails have grown out completely several
times since the gray appeared in the moons, and the gray did disperse
beyond the moons, but has never gone beyond 20% of the way from the
bed. I see how concentrating silver in the beds could cause
aggregation, and it getting stuck in the bed at the root of the nail.
But the apparent diffusion beyond the moon, yet not moving with the nail
itself as it grows is puzzling. It is almost like some tissue at the
root of the nail moves with the nail as it grows out for a short
distance, then somehow turns under and conveys back to the root again.
I find this part puzzling.
Does anyone know how the nail grows out without dragging the tissue
attached to it with it? Where does the slip occur, between the nail and
the tissue, or further down in the tissue? If it is further down in the
tissue, then how is the tissue recycled?

nails" rather than in the nail beds, and is diffusing outwards as
the nail grows?

Well, the blood theory does not stand up. Coloration due to blood
goes away when pressure is exerted on the nail, forcing the blood out
of the tissues, leaving them white. This coloration is not affected
by pressure at all, except that there is a very slight shift in the
tint due to the pink from the blood going away. Here is what I am
talking about: http://silver-lightning.com/fingernails.JPG
Note that we have at least 3 reports, not 2, since my wife and I both
have it. Also I got mine when drinking very large amounts of EIS to
kill Lyme from a tick bite, the timing is I think essential to
ascribing the cause. What is interesting is that the the gray
initially showed up in the moons only, but over the years has slowly
diffused out beyond the moons. Another interesting feature is on the
index finger, where a slight injury of the root has for years caused
the nail to have a slight white line up the nail, now that line is
gray part of the way up.
