I've had a couple of homeruns with skin infections. Eucalyptus oil worked for one but not the second one. Coconut oil worked on the second one (Eucalyptus oil made it more angry). For you that second guess the necessity of a quality distilled water because ''it's too much trouble with a home distiller'' are kidding yourself if you think what you made/make is colloidal silver. There are few if any ''short-cuts'' to making a quality colloidal silver. The generators of Ode Silver Puppy and Trem Williams (Silvergen) are my choices..
