Hi all. I originally saw this claim in a Sharper Image catalog we received in the mail but I just checked their website to see if I could find the claim there as well and this what I found. I "highlighted" the anti mite claim.
"Naturally antibacterial." "Sharper Image's Contour-Foam⢠Silver slippers feature insoles of viscoelastic foam that's infused with microscopic particles of silver â the antibacterial product of the latest nanotechnology. These ultra-fine nanoparticles cannot be seen or felt but they really enhance these slippers by killing or reducing the growth of odor-causing bacteria and of fungus that can irritate your skin. This "nanosilver" is a mineral that is safely used in many everyday products â such as adhesive "silver" bandages â because of its all-natural anti-mite, anti-mold and anti-microbe properties." My understanding is that silver only kills single celled organisms. Does anyone on the list have any documentation of silver killing organisms as complex as mites?
