<p>[QUOTE="krispy, post: 968780, member: 19065"]Metals are by their very nature <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Copper#Antibacterial_properties" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Copper#Antibacterial_properties" rel="nofollow">antibacterial</a>. Ever heard the phrase, 'born with a silver spoon in his mouth', that's from a time when infant mortality was lower amongst those who could afford silver spoons over wooden spoons which held germs. The poor simply couldn't afford silver-ware and children died from bacterial infections and contagious disease more often. Notice also that brass is used for door plates, fixtures, taps, handles, knobs, etc. Because bacteria cannot live long on these metal surfaces. Silver in this regard is being used in many applications from bacteria causing odor deterents in gym attire to anti-microbial drugs, ointments, bandages and much much more. There is of course conspiracy against the use of metals for antimicrobial application suggesting that it will hurt the profit of other drug makers who do not have established products that use these colloidal silvers and such... fun stuff![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
