Well as long as I know I just need to soak it (or maybe spray it to waste less silver) then I will just do that. Thanks.
On a functional level, because I am mainly soaking this as a potential shutter-upper if someone complains I am not wearing a surgical mask, would me soaking a thin neck gaiter in colloidal silver, drying it and then having it over my nose and mouth and inhaling & exhaling, actually provide any benefit? I know it should help kill anything which lands on the neck gaiter while it's in the bag not being used, but would it likely provide any health benefit if there were a dangerous bacteria or virus wofting around?
EDIT: Also, I just watched a video that explains how N95 masks work (very interesting) and a big part of it is electrically charged fibres to attract particles to them:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eAdanPfQdCA&feature=emb_logo and how trying to sterilize a disposable mask for re-use can damage that electrical charge and make the mask really bad at catching medium sized particles afterwards. So my other question is, if you soak a mask in Colloidal Silver (or in my case a neck gaiter) and then allow it to dry, would there be a charge from the silver that would help to attract particles to the silver? I am not sure how abundant the silver particles would be but assuming a mask or neck gaiter is fully soaked and allowed to dry, I would think it should have good coverage. So since silver's charge is supposedly one of the big aspects of why it can deactivate virus and bacteria etc, would this impregnation of Colloidal Silver add that kind of particle-attractive aspect?
