It is likely that Brown-Sequard had passed out from inhaling fumes from the solvent in the varnish.Īlthough only his face was covered, Buddy Ebsen who had won the role of the Tin Man in the film version of The Wizard of Oz, had a respiratory reaction to the aluminum powder that was used in the makeup and ended up in hospital. He was found unconscious on the floor by a student who quickly removed the varnish with alcohol. Once while teaching at the Medical School of Virginia he coated himself with varnish from head to foot in an attempt to study functions of the skin. In his zeal to conduct physiological experiments, he sometimes acted as his own guinea pig. Famed 19th-century physiologist Charles Brown-Sequard didn’t fare as well. A German man did so after he was feeling blue after a fight with his girlfriend and in 2017 a disturbed man in Georgia ran around buck naked except for a layer of blue paint. Cerave in the tub is meant for the body but is very popular for facial use. It had taken two hours to gild her body which was immediately scrubbed after the scene.Īlthough no one has apparently tried to duplicate the scene from Goldfinger, there are people who have painted themselves blue from head to foot.
Doctors were actually standing by in case Shirley had some sort of reaction such as heat exhaustion from the blockage of perspiration or allergy to the paint.
#ION BONDING GOLD ON SKIN SKIN#
It’s all right so long as you leave a small bare patch at the base of the spine to allow the skin to breathe.” That view was shared by the director who made sure that actress Shirley Eaton’s stomach remained unpainted while the scene was being shot. James Bond seemingly was unaware of this fact given that after discovering the golden corpse he tells M: “She died of skin suffocation, it’s been known to happen to cabaret dancers. Here’s a table summarizing the key differences, with references.No. Copper on the other hand maintains its efficacy across a range of temperature and humidities. While silver performs well under hot and humid conditions, its efficacy drops along with the ambient temperature. Lastly, and perhaps most importantly, copper is more effective under a broader set of conditions and is even enhanced by conditions that reduce the efficacy of silver. The toxicity of Silver is 65X that of copper according to the EPA. This means that while in high concentrations it can be toxic, it is generally less problematic in the environment than other metals. It is essential for things like cell respiration, neurotransmitter synthesis, and the cross linking of collagen and elastin in the skin. You can read more about how copper kills here.įurthermore, Copper is the only metal with antimicrobial properties that is also an essential micronutrient for humans (and all other living things). In certain forms, including the one that Cupron uses in its active additives, it releases an electron (creating a reactive oxygen species) which can be highly destructive to viruses, fungi, and bacteria.

These metals release ions which covalently bond to proteins and disrupts the ability of cells to function or replicate. While many people are aware of Silver as an antimicrobial, fewer people seem to be aware that both copper and gold are as well! All three are elemental metals that share something called “the Oligodynamic” effect, which is the biocidal effect of metals.
