One has to look at quantities.  The amount of AgNO3 produced by a low voltage
system using distilled water should be trivial. Don't forget that the medical
community used AgNO3 for medicine for decades, and they did not indicate
anything was wrong with it then. It is still used in newborn babies' eyes in
many hospitals worldwide.  The amount the baby receives is far more than one
would ever get from taking any CS made by the LVDC method.

Chck the msds on it http://www.hummelcroton.com/agno3_m.html

RTECS Number:                        VW4725000
       Routes of Exposure:            Eye contact. Ingestion. Inhalation. Skin
contact.
       Toxicity Data:                     ORAL LD50: 50 mg/Kg(orl-mus)
       Chronic Toxic Effects:         Overexposure to silver may cause
argyria.
       Acute Toxic Effects:            Irritating to the skin and eyes on
contact. Inhalation will cause irritation to the lungs
                          and mucus membrane. Irritation to the eyes will
cause watering and redness.
                          Reddening, scaling, and itching are characteristics
of skin inflammation. Follow safe
                          industrial hygiene practices and always wear
protective equipment when handling this
                          compound.
Thus the only cronic effect is argyria, and we all know how much silver that
takes.  The LD50 is 40mg/Kg, which would be 5 grams of it for a 100 KG
person.  At 1 ppm, that would require 5,000 liters of CS.  The water would
kill you first.
