Silver Ion, the answer to staying clean?

Does anyone have experieince using silver ions to cleann? I read where before refrigeration people would put a silver dollar (back when silver was really silver) in their milk and the milk would stay fresh longer.  Anyone have any experience with this?

Here’s a product that’s says silver ions work to kill bacteria.

French Clay found to KILL MRSA Bacteria

The Science Daily reports that a particular type of clay in France can kill the antibiotic resistant MRSA bacteria.
Much of the evidence is antidotal but the reports are compelling. Of course, anyone who receives the clay as a treatment starts pursing their lips, talks like Zeez, and they look down on Americans who haven’t a clue if a noun is male, female or impersonal. Still, it’s beats dying.

Restaurant Cleanliness

I just returned from dinner with my husband.  In this particular restaurant, which was quite good, I had a great view of the kitchen.

Germs in Traffic

Okay, this you are not going to believe. I’m sitting at a stoplight.

He was picking at his fingers and then, like a monkey picking off fleas put the tiny morsel in his mouth.   Under our fingernails is a very dirty place.  The skin adjacent to it must be just a dirty.  So if you have hanging cuticles.  Get a manicure!

• the back and bottom of your refrigerator were the coldest spots?

Guess it’s time to remove all those half filled bottles of jams and maynaise in the back so I have room for my chicken thighs.
