Well,

Of course, if the silver is not pure enough it is possible to have traces of other metals in it, including nickel. Also, if there is any stainless steel in the apparatus it is possible to have nickel as a contaminant.

If it is four nines silver (99.99%) , and you have a squeeky clean set up and know the components, that risk can be minimised if someone is severly allergic. It can be done, just a tiny bit more trouble. It should not be necessary for nearly everyone else.

I like her idea of the skin prick test for a severly allergic person. I am allergic to nickel as well, but have never had any problems with my solutions, and I use 3 nines silver (99.9%).

Just my thought, anyone else?

 Hi all,

The statement below I came across another forum.  I would like to respond to let this lady know there is no nickel in it.  I would like some input with possible reference to refute her statement. Thanks.

"Nickel is present in colloidal silver and many people have nickel allergies and don't realize it. I went into shock after drinking a very small amount. I urge you to do a skin-prick test after every batch for each person who will consume the tonic."
