I installed a drinking water filter in our kitchen a few months back. The filter manufacturer claims the filter takes out viruses. The filter has a pre-filter to get out the big lumps...a ceramic filter containing silver nitrate, and an activated charcoal filter. Funny, I've never thought of silver as something to kill viruses.
yes indeed...The romans thought lead was a panacea...ate pellets of the stuff.....heavy metals are not good snack items......
Still no good for werewolves with the aids though. No telethon for poor Wolfie.
