I've read the amounts in several health books I have. I take an eye- dropper a day (when I need to), around a teaspoon, for the dogs a little less. Regarding the "blue" comment--it's like anything else: too much aspirin is toxic, too many vitamins are toxic, too many chocolate chip cookies, etc. I've been taking colloidal silver for 25+ years (and so have the dogs) without any adverse effects. When I had the double mastectomy, I took it every day for a month before and three months after. Before each colonoscopy (I've had to have 3 because of breast cancer), I took it for a month straight (after.) Whenever we get a new dog, I give it to him/her (for stress) in his/ her food for about a week. Topically, (for wounds, etc) you can put it on 2-3 times a day. You can spray it on your face or the dogs' (even in the eyes). It is easily absorbed. (I really believe that I have remained cancer-free due to 2 things: Colloidal Silver and a little brown liquid called Protocel.)
