Honey compared with 1% silver sulfadiazine cream in the treatment of superficial and partial thickness burns. The real risks of ingesting silver nanoparticles, which are present in colloidal silver products, are also unknown. Despite these concerns about safety and effectiveness, people still buy colloidal silver as a dietary supplement and use it for a wide range of ailments. Sadhasivam, S., Shanmugam, P., and Yun, K.
