I used to work as a moulder in a non-ferrous foundry,
we were also supplied with a pint of milk a day.

The vein theory looks a bit better than the eating silver theory Whenu. Yeah if weld galvanized steel you can get the zinc staggers from the fumes. Remember the S and S huas and "volunteers" paint stripping the P3s at ARS used to get a litre of milk.

1444558 2018-01-11 10:40:00 I remember as a peasant school kid that I used to be given half a pint of milk a day. As for silver cutlery and plates causing your blood to turn blue does this mean that I should throw all my silver plates and cutlery in the recycle bin? Bobh (5192)
