You might even be able to help a few of the people who left comments after the story about silver. Enjoy! Rusty ----------------------------------------------------------------- SilverSport, a brand derived from Eco Product Group, offers a workout towel, a Pilates roller and a yoga mat with what it calls its Silver Clean Zone. Each product represents one of those zones by using Terra Silver to eliminate more than 650 types of surface-borne, odor-causing bacteria. Thomas Davis, president of Eco Product Group, told Wired.com that nanosilver particles - up to 20,000 times smaller than the width of a human hair - are to thank for the equipment's odor-killing prowess. "The material [in the products] is silver," Davis said. "Silver happens to be a natural anti-microbial. It fights bacteria naturally." http://gizmodo.com/5749803/self+cleaning-gym-gear-targets-bacteria-sweat?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed:+gizmodo/full+(Gizmodo)&utm_content=Google+Feedfetcher
