Silver, oligodynamic ,antimicrobial swab

Description

Silver has long recognized for its ability to kill microbes. Silver , along with the metals of Copper, and  Zinc are part  of the antimicrobial Metal Elements
family used in medicine today. Silver in a moist environment kills bacteria
. Silver Ions in a wet environment effect the harmful bacteria and microbes altering their chemistry to kill them.
The antimicrobial properties of silver have been known to cultures around the world for centuries. The Phoenicians used it in their vessels to store water  and discourage contamination. Metals like Copper and silver were the prefered antimicrobia method of Hippocrates in the fourth century B.C. , according to the Deccan Herald. Thousands of years later , these metals still act as antimicrobial agents. In 1893 the antimicrobial effectiveness of various metals were noted and this property was named the oligodynamic effect (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oligodynamic__effect).
Silver is used in Ships and Airplane water tanks to keep water potable for months. Silver was used in World War 1 as a medical treatment for wounded soldiers in wound dressings to deter microbial growth. Since the invention of antibiotics was discovered, the use of silver as a bacterial agent decreased. Some germs have developed a resistance to certain antibiotics . Today there is renewed interest in antimicrobial benefits of Oligodyamic  Silver.
Silver today is still used in water purification, wound dressings, and fabrics, working as it has for thousands of years to kill germs.
