Actually in the case of argyria, silver salts on the skin is worse than taking by mouth. Silver salts have been known to cause argyria in a matter of minutes on the skin with only one application. The reason is that when taken by mouth it would take a good bit to reach the threashold value of salts in the skin, but when applied directly it can only take a drop.
