What I have always wanted to know is how argyria of the face develops, that is: does it occur full-blown in patches, or over the whole face overnight? or does it appear as faint greyness at first, in patches or all over? And I still wonder re Rosemary Jacobs, wasn't what caused her argyria a somewhat common Rx when she started it? So where are all the other grey people? All in all even when much more likely-to-cause-argryia silver products were somewhat commonly used, there are really vanishingly few cases of argryia, certainly not many as severe as hers. Where are they? My personal best guess is that something else obtains in people who do develop it, even when using the more likely forms of silver. And I still will never understand why she didn't just stop using it, when she first noticed any greying. For most of us, using homemade, mostly ionic EIS in quantities less than a quart a day....argyria just doesn't seem to be a concern. For examples, Trem has shared many anecdotal reports from people using 2 liters a day or more for a year or more (IIRR) and no argyria. Is that right, Trem? So, where are all the grey people? If my fingernail moons ever start turning blue, I'll keep an eye on it. But I don't think I'd reduce or stop EIS consumption or use. Certainly I never plan to stop spraying my eyes, nose, and throat daily. That is probably the most effective way I am currently using EIS, and I haven't gotten a cold or flu in almost a year and a half, and I cannot for the life of me see that vanishingly tiny amount of EIS ever causing argryia in anyone. But what do I know?

The answer is: Because bluing under the nails may a precursor to a blue face which for most people would be very objectionable. It would be very convenient if we find out blue under the nails appeares first, so that an observant individual who knew what he/she was looking for could effectively avoid argeria of the face. At the extremely rare first sign of blue under the nails we could cut back or stop silver use before proceeding to the point of devistating our whole quality of life. Of course, the whole thing is addressing a very rare situation. The individual in that situation doesn't really care how few people are in it. They want knowledge with which to make informed decisions. I'm glad this list is here to "openly" address and discuss this. We are paving the way for future generations to enjoy the benefits of CS/EIS. This includes our children, grandchildren, neices, nephews, etc. We want to leave the best leagacy possible. Let's cover all the bases :)
