Another couple of great reasons to silverplate a chrom, and perhaps  the
best excuse of all to carry one's chrom in an underarm holder? ;)

"The new gold standard in health is silver

MANCHESTER, England - A  British scientist says the use of
silver in healthcare and hygiene is  increasing, frequently
because of a shortage of new antibiotics. A research  review
conducted by Professor Valerie Edwards-Jones of Manchester
Metropolitan University found advances in technology,
particularly  nano-technology, are allowing scientists to
increasingly apply silver's  benefits in more areas. "In
simple terms, silver ions are highly effective  and eliminate
bacteria rapidly," said Edwards-Jones. "Silver ions enter
the bacterial cell where they are able to deactivate impor-
tant  functions inside. This helps to shut down the bacteria's
ability to  reproduce which, depending on the type of bacter-
ia, prevents the spread of  infection or the development of
odor." She said one of silver's most  important benefits is
its low allergenic properties. Surgeons using silver  treated
bandages in wound care, including treatment of severe burns,
do  so because of the low incidence of irritation and allergy
that patients  often suffer, she said. Edwards-Jones also
said for the first time ever in  Europe, silver is being used
in a new deodorant. The silver ions neutralize  the bacteria
that cause body odor, stopping it before it begins. The
research review is reported in the journal Letters of Applied
Microbiology.
