Question:

Answers:
Silver Nitrate "Burns" the top layer of the tissue. Scrub on in in a day or two, it will flake off.
I know this because I got a fellow co worker back for six years of practacle jokes. On his last day I had mixed up some powdered Silver Nitrate, put it on his keyboard keys and mouse. By the end of the day he had black marks all over his face where he had been picking his Nose, etc.
It's pretty benign, and like I said in a day or two start scrubbing lightly.
