As I understand, the body has mechanisms to safely eliminate some low amount of nano silver. I don't know if the exposure from this material as clothing would exceed any safe threshold.

- OutOfHere 2y ago> human body doesn't use silver. At all. Which means it accumulates over lifetime. The human body has diverse ways to excrete things many that it doesn't use, namely by urine, stools, sweat, and bile. Kidneys, liver, and intestines specialize in it. <<Up to a point, excess silver is excreted out>>, although other things like various forms of PFAS are not.
