Silver has the highest reflectivity rating of any metal element at 95% of radiative energy. Body heat loss is minimised by actively reflecting the bodies’ energy back to the skin. Silver socks will be significantly warmer with added comfort in cold feeling conditions. Athletes foot (Candida Albicans) can be a problem between toes and in any damp within skin folds. Silver destroyed 99.9% of Candida Albicans after only a few hours contact with the skin. Sweat can embarrass from an unpleasant odour. Foot heat is being continually transferred by evaporation this changes liquid into a . When the feet cannot dissipate enough heat through conduction or convection, it will use evaporation, the result of which is sweat. Evaporation is active in all weathers, depending on general activity levels. To be comfortable moisture generated by the feet must be transported efficiently away from the skin. Silver enhances the natural movement of moisture through hydrophobic materials the same way the body does by using evaporation. The conductivity of the silver will act to accelerate the evaporation by transporting the moisture away from the feet faster. This reduces convective heat loss, and for increased comfort in warm weather by minimizing moisture contact with the skin. Silver is a natural and deterrent for the bacteria Staphylococcus Aureus (in 90% of patients with Atopic Dermatitis and up to 30% may develop acute infection), and may help with eczema and dermatitis. In the UK over three million people suffer from Dermatitis and Eczema with insufficient natural body protection against infection and bacterial infections of the skin. Eczema and dry, cracked skin on the legs-toes caused by constant sweating may be helped by wearing silver socks. The anti mycotic medical properties of pure silver will eliminate within one hour 99.9% of bacteria resulting in an instant reduction of .
