You will find that silver is making a resurgence, silver socks are available 
here in Australia and the USA too I believe, as are bandaids impregnated with 
silver, the US Army supplies all its field staff with silver impregnated socks, 
Defence forces field dressings are now all impregnated with silver, I believe 
Samsung is about to release a refrigerator which has silver impregnated in its 
lining, one can buy silver impregnated food storage boxes, and it goes on.
I spoke to my Dr the other day and he had never heard of silver as an 
antibacterial agent!!!
I showed him my silver socks, and the condition of my feet which are clear and 
healthy, no sign of the dreaded tinea which was a continual curse for me, he 
looked it up on the internet and he was amazed!!!

  Subject: CS>Silver bandages


  Just bought 2 boxes of bandages with silver on pads, bought them at dollar 
store.
  It says on box acts as a natural antibacterial. I am surprised the FDA allows 
them to put that on box. 25 assorted count in box, made in Egypt.
