Ingesting too much silver can also cause argyria, a condition in which the skin turns a blue-grey colour — and the effect is permanent.
the effect is permanent...
Same can be said about that “death” thingie..
Choose your poison!
The dosage required to give an adult argyria is magnitudes higher than the dosage that is adequate for medical purposes.
from: Silver Toxicity - How much is harmful?
One tsp. contains 5 ml. of liquid
One ppm concentration is the same as 1 milligram (mg.) per liter
(Example: 10 PPM colloidal silver contains 10 mg of silver in one liter of liquid)
(Example: One tsp. of 10 PPM colloidal silver contains 50 micrograms of silver)
The EPA reference dose for a 160 pound adult (the average amount consumed per day in food and water): 364 micrograms per day.
The EPA critical dose for a 160 pound adult (the amount that should not be exceeded in daily consumption): 1.09 milligrams per day
The EPA proposed limit for silver in drinking water is: 0.1 mg per liter ( 0.1 PPM)
The average person consumes approximately 90 mcg. of silver/day in their food
The estimated dosage of silver required to trigger an anti-infection response (based on anecdotal reports and other data); is believed to be approximately 1 milligram of silver
References (8) and ( 70) state that the estimated total dosage of silver required to treat serious infections such as LYME disease is: Approximately 18 to 90 milligrams of silver over the period of one month.
The estimated accumulated dosage required to produce argyria is: Approximately one to six grams of silver, depending on the reference cited. Some references state as high as 50 grams.(1)(62)
The estimated single dose lethal quantity of silver is: Approximately ten grams of silver (56)

“Ingesting too much silver can also cause argyria...”
This is BS - Old Wives Tale...
