Researchers have found that micro-spikes etched into titanium rupture microbes
It&#x27;s also likely got some sort of basis in the oligodynamic effect, as Titanium rips apart cell walls passively that way as well. How much each does each, I can&#x27;t say.<p>Works for a lot of other metals, like bismuth (you wonder how Pepto stops diarrhea? Oligodynamic effect, among other things), copper, silver (yes, they put this in some medical dressings and such for hospitals, it kills MRSA as do many oligodynamic metals). Usually does the vast majority of its self-sanitization within a few _hours_, not days, as I best understand it.<p>It&#x27;s an excellent and still-underappreciated effect. Use it in your everyday life, I know I go out of my way too and it&#x27;s quite worth it! :3 :&#x27;)))) &lt; :&#x27;)<p>Nothing too new about this article. Titanium white is a good self-sanitizing pigment if you need it, though I&#x27;d recommend talking to the appropriate professional before doing anything funky with anything. Stay safe! &lt;3 :&#x27;))))<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.m.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Oligodynamic_effect" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.m.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Oligodynamic_effect</a>
