What does sucking on silver do?

Sometimes I do this. Because I heard about how babies were given silver spoons to use, etc.

I mean, I'm not a baby but the principle should be the same, right? :D

Or is the effectiveness far too low as compared to making Colloidal Silver and approaches like that?

Thanks much!


EDIT -- Oh, I do it with 99.99% silver. I'm never so sure what's in sterling silver for sure but that's also an interesting topic I think!
