Nifty Spice Container

I'd calculate the risk like this.
What weight of silver nitratre can get bled into the plastic.
Thought, the weight of the canister is only a few grams so the silver nitrate component would have to be measured in milli of micro grams.
How much can be bled out again.
Thought, a lot less than bled in, and given an initail couple of washes to get rid of that more easily bled out even less That'd leave the little that can be bled in minus what is left when no more can bleed out easily and also minus that which cannot be bled out ie the silver nitrate that's still in the plastic years down the line. I guess this " potentially available to potentially do you harm" amount is going to be measured in micro or nano grams.
Over what timescale?
Probably several years.
So now we get to ask the important questions like what quantity of silver nitrate would it take to do us harm?
As a gauge I'd look at photographers developing their own prints, who will be absorbing magnitutes more silver nitatrate that someone storing a few spices, if there's not a major problem for them the problem for the average bushcrafter would seem to be almost (if not completely ) nonexistant.
There's nowt wrong wi' a bit o' silver nitrate. Don't be so negative

Well said Eric, its the same as the Aluminium mess tin argument, nonsense really unless you eat out of them for a couple of hundred years

Aluminium's suspected involvement in alzheimer's has been debunked I believe. They found there was no relationship.
They are quite cute aren't they. They were being sold locally in a shop called Butlers which sells lots of low-price euro-goods for the home - mainly kitchen. I have one (spice names are in German) and, in the interest of all here, tried to take the top off - not a chance of doing so by hand - I may have to try tools!
Back on topic I see, if the top comes off and the can be recharged, I'm interested, if not i'm not. cant say fairer than that.
lets see silver nitrate , from film which is contained inside a plastic container, inside said plastic container !!!! where are you getting poisoned from again ? I believe the expression is "Get real"
Now in the old days they processed film (actually glass plates) with mercury, breathing in the fumes, as they worked, now that is poisoning.

Hmmmmm - I like that! - I've been looking for something like that for ages!
If I organise, would anyone else be interested in a group buy?
I would be interested, if they were refilliable.
Just looking at the pic, could you not just refill it throught the hole where you pour from ? unless they are small holes for sprinkling.
What about one of these? "A clear plastic box with 8 separate compartments, each with a snap shut lid. Ideal for storage of small screws, washers and any small item that can be easily lost.
Dimensions 87mm x 61mm x 21mm." code SF04E
£1.29 + P&P,
SWMBO and I use them for keeping our various pills in at camp, one compartment per day
No not the little blue ones

I keep hearing this but I'd be interested to see a link to the research findings if anyone has it.
ok - an update!
I have contacted the origional company and (with Tony's blessing) am currently looking into getting them made with the bushcraftuk logo and a 'small' run of 'as stock' just as a group buy
Obviously this all hinges on the final price so we'll see.......

Bushcrafter (boy, I've got a lot to say!)
i use a bog standard pill organiser. 7 compartments. get a round one and they fit in the billy tin lid with easy. costs about £1 from the chemist.
I use a bunch of medical sample containers (unused!) that I blagged... Got some really small ones for curry spices and the like, as I always end up taking way too much otherwise - I like to have a good variety, but I don't need a lot of each. Salt and pepper go in larger ones.
