Hi Matthew,
This certainly desearves further scrutiny by all who injest silver in what
ever form. I have a feeling that the onset of darkening/blueing under the
nails may be the onset of argeria, and is not only dose dependant but is
also body condition dependent. It would be nice if we found out by careful
monitering of our own nail beds, reporting and comparing notes, and putting
all the info together (even though it would all still be anectdotal) that we
could control and eliminate argeria by seeing it's onset before it occurs.
Then, when needed, we could up our intake of supplements like selenium
combined with reducing our intake of silver etc. Of course this would not
normally be required, but it would be good to understand it better and know
what to do for one of our loved ones who don't follow directions or
understand it all as well as we do. It's fairly common to convince someone
to take an alternative supplement without them bothering to learn enough
about it to do it right... I'm careful not to encourage the uninformed to
take something, but sometimes it happens anyway...

Good Morning, Sharon.
Thank you for your thought-provoking insight.
It reminds me of the Arthur Conan Doyle story of
the watchdog that did not bark in the night.
The most conspicuous lack of melanin in some
Africans is in their nails. Maybe Caucasians share this
trait with their brothers and sisters in Africa and
the Melanesian Pacific Islands and the indigenous
First Nations of the New World, but don't even
realize it. This suggests the hypothesis that, indeed,
the nails are a window to the lower layers of the
dermis. And that this is where we should look for
the earliest warning of incipient argyria.
Best regards,
Matthew

Most likely not. I doubt that it would appear as obviously on someone
dark skinned. Maybe you would see it in the nails though.
