RE>SC - gold leaf 7/8/97
While pure gold and silver are mostly harmless, there are people with metal
allergies. Also apparently silver is a "heavy metal" (not a guitar riff) and
can give people mild blood poisoning- this from a body piercer admonishing
that piercings done with silver would not heal neatly or quickly. I am not
sure how this would apply to something that was going to be swallowed rather
than stuck in somebody (sorry! not trying to be gross). I have eaten pastries
with gold and silver leaf on them (from russian and italian bakeries) and come
to no harm that was noticeable (except for that twitch...)
