Saturated Solution Potassium Iodide (SSKI) http://www.tahoma-clinic.com/iodide.shtml It is well worth the read as there are a number of excellent uses for potassium iodide.

What's SSKI?????????????? From: sms <s...@emotap.com> To: silver-list@eskimo.com Sent: Thu, March 18, 2010 10:47:20 AM Subject: CS>Toenail fungus From Dr. Jonathan Wright, Tahoma Clinic, Renton Washington Fungus under the toenails ("onychomycosis") is a difficult problem to treat. Even "conventional" anti-fungal drug treatment takes months to work, and (for safety) monthly liver function tests are necessary. SSKI and DMSO rubbed on, around, and under the affected toenails doesn't work any faster, but it's just as effective, and definitely safer. Make sure to wear old socks, because SSKI and other forms of iodine leave an orange-brown stain. (Other safe and effective alternatives include geranium oil, oregano oil, and tea tree oil. These and other anti-fungal oils also require "help" from DMSO to penetrate the toenail and soak the fungus underneath.)
