In what form?: Pure solid silver, as in jewelry? Liquid silver? Are you taking pure silver or compound that has some silver in it? Please ask again and clarify. The condition of silver toxicity, is called Argyria. See the article, which discuses how one might be harmed by silver. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Argyria
