The October 98' issue of Nature Biotechnology contains a tidbit
that may be of interest.
On page 888 is an article titled "Silver as a biocide : will resistance
become a problem ?". The authors state that in Mexico, Microdyn
(colloidal silver in gelatin) is sold to disinfect salad vegetables and
drinking water. Various forms of silver are currently used in industry and
medicine for their anti-microbial characteristics... Silver products are
currently being marketed through health food channels as "Natures
alternative to anti-bioitics"...
