Lots of people look for dietary supplements and other remedies to help maintain their health. Some are age-old remedies, and others are exotic herbs or roots.
Sometimes, taking these remedies can have, um...interesting results.
How would you like to look like a zombie?

Or a character out of Star Trek?

Just try some Colloidal Silver: It is a natural antibiotic -- or so some people claim. It heals infections and clears up skin rashes. Maybe.

But the fun part is what it leaves behind. Just as silver darkens to develop pictures, it also embeds deeply into your skin -- giving you the lovely hue of the freshly dead, or of your favorite space alien.

The condition is called Argyria (http://dermatology.cdlib.org/111/case_reports/argyria/wadhera.html) (after argentum, the Latin word for silver). Once the silver has embedded in the skin, it stays there.
Bottom line, it's permanent.
