Much of the argyria is from ionic silver (ionic cs is a oxymoron, it is
either ionic (a compound such as silver hydroxide, silver oxide, silver
nitrate and so forth) or colloidal (which is particles), or a
combination).  Take silver chloride and silver nitrate as an example, which
both of these silver compounds have caused argyria many times, they are of
course both ionic when dissolved in water.
