There is no evidence

whatsoever that dipping your hands in a fishtank with very dilute
malachite green in it once or twice will have any effect.

Just use common sense and wash your hands if you have to put them in a
tank with any fish medicine in it.




I don't keep my hands out necessarily but do make sure I don't get a
mouthful of the stuff when syphoning water out for the changes....

Altum is right, there are so many more risks to our lives far greater
than dipping our hands in a medicated tank - just if you suck to get the
syphon working don't swallow - in fact whether there are meds in the
tank or not this is a nasty thing to do...

And yeah, I often cite the drive to the airport/fly in to the airport
risk factor to anyone that has a fear of flying - but maybe I'm just
mean and increase their paranoi of either activity.....
