The woman lived 60 years with a silver skin

Nasal drops of Rosemary Jacobs spoiled the whole zhizn



71-year-old Rosemary Jacobs lived with silver leather over the past 60 years. At 11 years of age she showed a rare condition called argyria. The reason was the effect of the chemical forms of silver - usually in such cases, the skin becomes a bluish or bluish-silver color. In the case of Rosemary happened after using nasal drops containing colloidal silver.

When Rosemary was 11 years old, her mother mentioned when visiting Laura's daughter constantly get cold. The doctor decided that it must be an allergy, and ordered the girl nasal drops containing silver, it is recommended to apply them as needed. Rosemary did as she was told - use drops whenever she began runny nose.



At first no one could see that her skin color changed - neither she nor her parents. Finally, a nurse noticed the change, and rosemary to consult a dermatologist. Skin biopsy showed that penetrated deeply into the skin molecules of silver. Unfortunately, in the 1950s, no treatment of argyria did not exist, and change nothing was impossible, even if all stop using the drug. Doctors told Rosemary that her skin will remain so forever. According to her, it was terrible news.

All my life I wanted to Rosemary again become normal. For a long time she had been a victim of discrimination and cruel ridicule. Strangers thought she was ill some infectious disease, and tried to avoid it. Rosemary even said that it looks like the walking dead. Many employers because of her appearance refused to take her to work, and one of the most embarrassing moments in her life was an attempt to put a stewardess on her oxygen mask, which decided that the woman's face drained of blood.

Of course, she tried to be treated, but notable success never reached. In 36 years, Rosemary decided to dermabrasion skin - a procedure in which completely removed the top layer of skin, leaving the skin raw and red. The doctors were not sure of success, but Rosemary was willing to take the risk. The procedure lasted for almost six months, but unfortunately, when the skin is restored, the result was even worse - skin became pink with silver spots.

Rosemary never entered with someone in a personal relationship. Now she is trying to tell the world how much may be harmful drugs containing silver.
