      That’s the one! …kinda blows my mind that you can drink metal until the levels of that metal are sufficient to drastically change your skin color due to particles of that metal literally being trapped in your skin… and not like, just keel over dead.

      Like is it just the skin? Is is muscle tissue blue, too? If it’s just the epithelium, what about the GI tract? And if it’s blue from being saturated with silver, what is that doing to his nutrient absorption? Does he need to eat or drink more than normal to compensate for malabsorption?

      …laparoscopic surgery would be a fucking nightmare on that dude if his innards are all that color - even with just some bleeding, the view becomes shit because all the light gets absorbed.

      So many questions!
