Anecdotal reports of allergy to silver have appeared on this list from time to time.
Usually, they involved daily handling of jewelry-grade silver. The symptoms I remember were cracking and bleeding of the hands. Perhaps you can obtain some silver made with another process that has been widely used topically without adverse effects and try that. If there is no reaction; it probably was that batch of silver. If there is still a reaction it is probably a reaction to silver itself. A superinfection caused by killing off competing organisms is unlikely, because CS will probably kill all of them. Maybe it was a bug bite. Maybe it was something else. I would have put silver on the bumps. There has never been a report of PO consumption of CS causing a rash on this list. One lab that knows how to handle CS is: Kimball Labs (801) 571-3695 Lyle Kimball charges (last I checked) $100 for both the following: 1. Determine total Ag/unit volume 2. Levels of trace toxic elements such as iron, nickel, copper, lead. He probably, at additional cost, tell you the ratio of dissolved monatomic silver, commonly called "ionic" silver on this list to charged "silver particles", that according to most references I have seen, are also called ions. He uses an atomic absorption spectrophototometer.

It always comes out clear no flakes. I gave some to a patient of mine (I do acupuncture and herbs) for cellulites and it worked great. However another person reported : after using it topically, I noticed I was very tired, so after a week, I stopped. After a few days, I noticed a fairly big red mark on my leg, that appeared like a bug bite. A few days later, bumps all over my body appeared, and worsened. These bumps were smaller than the larger bump on my leg that initially appeared. They itched very badly. I went to the doctor, and he said it was probably an allergic reaction, and put my on medication. Is there a way (or lab) that I can get this tested? Has anyone else similar experience?
