Woman Who Turned Silver...

Rosemary Jacobs, 66, had painful face peels to remove layers of skin after it developed an irreversible grey tinge.

Her rare condition - known as argyria - began when she started taking nasal drops containing colloidal silver (CSP) at the age of 11.

Four years later a skin biopsy revealed a multitude of silver particles embedded deep beneath her epidermis.

“They told me my colour was permanent,” Mrs Jacobs said. “It was devastating.”
