Is silver nitrate near prescription?
Answers: Normally silver nitrate is used within medicine (looks freshly like a long match) to stop bleeding. It is dipped into sterile saline (salt water) earlier used. If the wound is not numbed, it burns like crazy.
It darken the wound if used too much, but at least the bleeding is stopped. Noted SN is toxic. I never like to deal near them--always washed my hand like crazy afterwards.
It is something you would not want around freshly because of that, and furthermore, normally it is not dispensed by a pharmacist (that I am aware of--we other order them via the supplier).
What are you planning to do next to it?
Silver nitrate? Sounds like you necessitate a prescription or a wallet full of cash.
