A condition where silver compounds will become silver atoms upon exposure to light (the photographic process), and then continue to grow until they become lodged in the skin (the photographic development process). This results in a darkening of the skin, usually of a blue tinge. This requires 4 things, light, preferrably in the UV range, fairly large quantities of silver compound(s) (smaller amounds will not grow the crystal fast enough to get lodged), a ph of over 7, and a developer in the blood. The blood has a ph of over 7, but skin normally has a ph under 7. Caffine makes a good developer. So to develop argyria you would need to do something like the following: Drink a fairly large quantity of a silver compound, such as silver nitrate. Wash the skin with normal or lye soap to alkalinize it. Drink several cups of coffee, then go out and sunbath on a clear day. You might be able to skip the washing part, with somewhat reduced results. Marshall
