SILVER - Ag (ArgeNtum)
a bit of science......
FACT:
Silver has been known to have both an anti-bacterial property (kills bacteria, or stops them reproducing) and an anti-fungal property ( kills fungi or stops them reproducing).
HISTORY:
In short, for over 2000 years it has been used to preserve food and water; e.g. Silver coins in Milk , today some people use water filters which contain silver.
GOING FORWARD:
Anti Fungal textiles using Silver disposition.
E.g. in term of textiles for clothing, Fungal and bacterial infestation can cause material damage to fabrics, damage that becomes visible through discoloration and stains. Some fungi and bacteria are pathogenic. Anti-microbially active coatings might be a possible protection against an infestation of the fabrics, benefiting the garment's wearer.

More importantly before the development of antibiotics a thin layer of silver was applied to cuts and wounds to prevent infection and speed up the healing process.
