Hmm. Might it make for better flatware than silver? (Silver is supposed to be unfriendly to germs.)

A couple of loops of copper wire or a single circle of a heavier gauge will keep your birdbath clear of algae and such. Old copper coins work too.

Is this just a replay of diatomaceous earth? Because diatomaceous earth kills by cutting the chitin of bugs open and they bleed or evaporate to death.

Those brass doorknobs they’ve been using forever in hospitals? The zinc etches away leaving “maze like structures” in the remaining copper.

I swear 99% of current science is pure crap.

Nice, but how durable is that surface?
How long would it last before being polished smooth through contact?
Say a doorknob or handle..

Most hospitals are against any deployment of copper that would interfere with hospital acquired infections. Reason being is that they make, on average, 75,000 dollars on each infection. It’s been well documented over the last 25 years.
