Silver Poisoning Test
Silver poisoning test, exposure to Silver heavy metals or chemicals or compounds that contain Silver can cause Silver toxicity in the human body. You could be suffering from Silver poisoning symptoms, simple home health check to see your Silver exposure levels.
Health related problems caused by Silver
Argyria is a condition caused by the ingestion of elemental silver, silver dust or silver compounds. The most dramatic symptom of argyria is that the skin becomes blue or bluish-grey colored. Argyrosis is the corresponding condition related to the eyes.
Silver skin relater problems caused by Silver
Silver compounds can cause some areas of the skin and other body tissues to turn gray or blue-gray. Argyria occurs in people who eat or breathe in silver over a long period (several months to many years). A single exposure to a silver compound may also cause silver to be deposited in the skin and in other parts of the body. It is likely that many exposures to silver are necessary to develop argyria. Once argyria develops, it is generally believed to be permanent. The condition is not merely a "cosmetic problem". Discoloration of the skin seen in argyria is not the most serious health effect of silver. It has been shown to cause brain damage, seizures,, and death or a persistent vegetative state.

Preparation of test for Silver
- Remove the indicator stick and small vial from the large test tube
- In the empty large test-tube, add 5 ml. of the solution to be tested
- The solution is now ready for testing
Conducting the test for Silver toxins
- Pour the contents from clear-cap vial (colourless Reagent 1) into the large test-tube. Note: the pH of this solution to be tested should be at 1 or less at this time
- Put the indicator stick into the mixed solutions (now turned acidic) in the large test-tube for one (1) second. Note: The reaction surface of the indicator stick must be completely immersed into the mixed solutions in the large test-tube
- Remove the indicator stick from the large test-tube and wait for 15 seconds
- Compare the colour on the reaction surface of the indicator stick to that of the colour strip provided
How to test for Silver in the body
- Add the required volume of the sample solution (saliva, water, urine, etc) to be tested for Silver into the test tube
- Close with the cap and shake gently. Allow the solutions to stand on the cap of the test tube for 1 minute.
