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

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
