Isn't that what they put in newborn baby's eyes? Or some form of silver? They used silver nitrate to stop my sons umbilical stump from bleeding, but I swore they said the eye salve is silver too.
Has anyone with scattering attemp to use something topical in the area of suspected infection?
I tried a castor oil pack on my chest once, but all it did was give me a weird red, allergy type rash that went away the next day. I don't think it would be easy for something topical to get into lungs, but muscle or lymph maybe.
