It appears I have silver imbued into my skin

Right. So I was working at a lab and we were doing silver staining. Long story short, while using the silver nitrate, some might've gotten through the gloves, because now I seem to have silver in my skin.

 

Is this a problem? And how do I get rid of this? :S

I haven't brushed my teeth since this morning, when it wasn't there. Can't be toothpaste. Can't imagine anything else, and it sure has the color solid silver does. Maybe the gloves weren't perfect, I was handling a number of things before this.

 

And if I get some sort of silver-related superpower, I am most definitely fighting crime.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silver_nitrate

 

As an oxidant, silver nitrate should be properly stored away from organic compounds. Despite being used in low concentrations to prevent gonorrhea, silver nitrate is toxic and corrosive.[30] Brief exposure to the chemical will not produce immediate or even any side effects other than the purple, brown or black skin stains, but with more exposure, side effects will become more noticeable, including burns. Long-term exposure may cause eye damage. Short contact can lead to deposition of black silver stains on the skin. Besides being very destructive of mucous membranes, it is a skin and eye irritant.

 

Although silver nitrate is currently not regulated in water sources by the Environmental Protection Agency, when between 1-5 g of silver have accumulated in the body, a condition called argyria can develop. Argyria is a permanent cosmetic condition in which the skin and internal organs turn a blue-gray color. The United States Environmental Protection Agency had a maximum contaminant limit for silver in water until 1990, but upon determination that argyria did not impact the function of organs affected, removed the regulation.[27] Argyria is more often associated with the consumption of colloidal silver solutions than with silver nitrate, especially at the extremely low concentrations present for the disinfection of water. However, it is still important to consider before ingesting any sort of silver-ion solution.

 

If it's not that much on your hand I wouldn't really worry personally...

Alright cool. There's just a lot of little dots so I guess it's nothing too bad. Thanks.

Either cut it out of your skin (this will remove the silver and the skin will grow back) or you can see a doctor, I recommend the latter.

Nah, just use something abrasive and rub at it a little bit if it bothers you. It shouldn't have permeated beyond the first layer of skin so that would most likely do the trick.

If you get superpowers don't be a superhero, that's just lame. Supervillian is the way to go.

:thumbup: Maybe you can get some money for your hand if you chop it off...

 

It'd be one hell of a pickup line though. "My friends tell me I have silver hands..." :twss:

Isn't silver used to sterilise drinking water? I have no idea about the nitrate part though.

I asked my dad, who also works in labs a lot. He didn't seem at all concern (that, or he doesn't care about me :(), so I figure it's not serious enough that I have to go to the doctor for it.

I still think you should coat yourself with it. Screw the consequences, you'd have 2 days of being the awesomest person ever.

The only difference between Hitler and the man next door who comes home and beats his kids every day is circumstance. The intent is the same-- to harm others.

I told her there was a secret method to doing it - and there is - but my once nimble and agile fingers were unable to perform because I was under the influence.

I would laugh, not hate. I'm a male. :(

Since when was Ireland an island...? :wall:

I actually have a hobby of licking public toilet seats.

Can we see pictures of you silver hand?

 

you just advanced a smithing level, you are now the tin man from the wizard of OZ!

 

It's really very little. Maybe 10 small black spots on each hand.
