Hi Jen,

There is not one single documented case in science of a person getting argyria from using silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) and when you understand how argyria develops in the first place, it makes sense that you wouldn't get argyria from AgNPs because the particles are too large to be able to easily enter cells, a critical step required for the development of argyria.

Silver ions are significantly smaller than AgNPs and these ions can enter into cells because of their very small size, but once inside the cell they can bond to other molecules in the cell and once they bond, they are then too large to be able to ever exit the cell and that is why argyria is irreversible. These combined molecules can be photo reactive and change color when exposed to various light sources such as the sun and if the cells containing these molecules are close to the surface of the skin, it can give the skin a bluish gray color. This is similar to the process involved in the development of old polaroid pictures. Once the photo was ejected from the camera, the photo reacted with the surrounding light in the room and slowly developed over the period of about a minute or two.

The person who is famous for argyria is Paul Karason, but at the time that he was popular, he was making his own silver at home and at that time, making AgNPs at home was not common at all unless you were a scientist with access to a lab, which he wasn't. What ever he was making, it was capable of causing argyria, but he was taking massive amounts of it everyday. He kept taking what he was making even after he started turning blue and this got him on many talk shows which made him famous. Why would anyone continue to take something that he knew was turning him blue?

By comparison, a friend of mine who had HIV and no insurance took 16 ounces of yellow 20 ppm AgNPs everyday for two years to control his HIV until he could get insurance again. He did not turn blue or get argyria.

I myself have been using AgNPs as needed for years and I have not turned blue. Even silver ions when taken at dosing levels that most people would use to treat different ailments is not enough to cause argyria. It takes very large amounts for long periods of time that most people would never use.
