Hi Tony,
I don't think of argyria as a disease and certainly did not intend to give the 
impression that it is. However, as a user of CS I am don't want to get it and I 
am concerned that argyria is, I believe, more prevalent than is implied by the 
sites listing the reported cases. I am just thinking that there may be a way of 
indicating mild instances of argyria and not just the major instances. 
I think Mike has a better approach that can also provide insight into the cause 
of the argyria. 
I agree that argyria is generally harmless excepy possibly when it causes 
coloring of the lens of the eye. Given my current sight loss, I would consider 
any additional loss as serious. 
I appologize if my post offended you. 
Regards,
       Steve N

Hi Steve,

You make it seem that Argyria is a disease. 

Do you think that argyria is a disease? To my mind it is merely a 
colouration and is perhaps an indicator of something. But I know of no 
detriment other that the colour. What are the downsides of having 
argyria?

OK,
Tony
