Never mind turning blue - I'm turning brown. Well, not all over. Preparing chicken in bare hands (sorry, Hulda!) my finger was pricked and scratched by a sharp bone. I had wiped my colloidal silver generating jar and wires with a tissue, which was wet and partially black. Remembering Matthew's query as to whether this black/grey stuff could be used in an ointment, I decided to see what would happen if I used this tissue as a dressing. I wrapped the whole finger in the tissue, and covered it with cling wrap, which I left on overnight. The next day I put on a plaster, and left that on for a few days.
My finger nail was stained brown, and so, oddly, were the back and sides of the finger, but not the front where the plaster dressing pad was. This brown remains rather like a varnish, but is now cracked and probably flaking off slightly. I thought it must be the silver that had stained the nail and skin, and racked my brain to remember whether I had put anything else on, like propolis tincture. I had put some Tea Tree oil on the scratch, possibly also some Calendula tincture. Didn't think the propolis would do this even if I had applied and forgotten - didn't remember it ever happening before. Few days later, thumb was a bit sore. Wiped generator jar and wires with tissue. Wrapped tissue around thumb with plastic glove over. An hour or so later took it off. Result: brown stain on nail and skin where, presumably, the black deposit reached the skin. I don't know if there is any use for this brown stain. I hope it is administering continuing minute doses of CS. As the days pass it is turning more orange-coloured, also sepia. Am I turning into a photograph of myself? The chicken-scratch healed fine with an elegant narrow scar. I upped my dose of CS just in case anything had clambered inside my finger.
