Looking for information about this trend. Silver has germicidal effects and I heard that when the US government seized a sizable amount of silverware from the public, this allowed mini epidemics. Wondering if anyone has information as the search engines seem to be scrubbed of anything in that time period.

Most likely to a small degree. It is used in gauze for dressing wounds too and in sutures. Colloidal silver is great for cleaning wounds (just don' t drink it.)

Of course. It's why you should get only brass doorknobs and brass fixtures for your bathrooms/sinks.

When did the government seize silverware?

Someone told me the government seizure of silverware actually inflamed the transmission of disease in the general population. Was wondering if there was any truth to it. So I've been looking around this time frame.

Man, I'd be screwed if the gov't seized silver.
