00:00Exposure to silver can lead to a range of health issues, including kidney and neurological

00:10damage, fatigue, and indigestion.

00:14One particularly peculiar condition caused by silver is argyria, which turns the skin

00:19a bluish-gray hue.

00:22This unusual effect was so noticeable that individuals with argyria often showcase themselves

00:27in public exhibitions, as detailed in people with green hair, pink streets, neighborhoods

00:33with a taste of molasses, and blue towns, and a river that is too blue.

00:39Historically, silver's sterilizing properties, akin to those of copper, led to its consumption

00:44with little hesitation.

00:46However, the ingestion of silver can result in the skin adopting a silvery tone.

00:53In present times, despite advancements in conventional medicine, some people still resort

00:58to self-medicating with silver, particularly in the form of colloidal silver dietary supplements

01:03marketed for conditions such as cancer, AIDS, diabetes mellitus, and herpes infections.

01:11One of the most notable recent cases of argyria involves Stan Jones, a politician who ran

01:16for the U.S. Senate in 2002 and 2006.

01:23Jones developed blue skin due to his fear of a future antibiotic shortage, which led

01:28him to create heavy metal concoctions by submerging silver electrodes connected to 9-volt batteries

01:34into water.

01:36As Sam Kean describes in his book The Shrinking Spoon, Jones now bears a resemblance to Poppismuth,

01:42making him a fitting resident of what could be dubbed the world's first smuth village.

01:48His distinct blue coloration serves as a testament to his eccentricity.
