The toxic effects of inorganic silver ingested orally in large doses are very similar to any corrosive solution . " " ( Systemic argyria associated with ingestion of colloidal silver

Argyria is more often associated with the consumption of colloidal silver solutions rather than with silver nitrate, since it is only used at extremely low concentrations to disinfect the water.
33.
Argyrosis has been used particularly in referring to argyria of the conjunctiva, but the usage has never been consistent and cannot be relied on except where it has been explicitly specified.

Colloidal silver was also used as a conventional medical treatment until sometime in the 1940s or 50s, and some physicians who had to deal with cases of argyria heavily criticized it then.

Generalised argyria with silver accumulation in kidneys, liver, and retina has only been found in association with excessive long-term use, or repeated use on severe and heavily inflamed burns.
36.
Those sources that specifically discuss colloidal silver obviously focus on their chosen topic, but even those sources admit that the risk of argyria is small, and that argyria is not actually harmful.

The United States Environmental Protection Agency used to have a maximum contaminant limit for silver in water until 1990, when it was determined that argyria did not impact the function of any affected organs.

I took a look at the edit history, and the source I have quoted, " Systemic argyria associated with ingestion of colloidal silver " has been present in the article for over a year.

The prolonged use of preparations containing gold or silver can also lead to the accumulation of these metals in body tissue; the results are the irreversible but apparently harmless pigmentation conditions known as chrysiasis and argyria respectively.
