A case of Ick?

We do state the active ingredients on our web site and other
information we have published over the years. We just do not show the
binders. As for malachite green, (and a Californian for 43 years) they
have many carcinogenic issues with the product which have yet to be
proven. California has many problems banning fish (such as the piranah)
and medications without any real evidence. Chloramphenical is an
example of an excellent antibiotic banned in the pet industry without
much evidence.

Uh, other than it causes Leukemia-like symptoms in many people. Great drug
for fish though, I still have some. It's a last resort antibiotic in humans.

Interesting...chloramphenical is one of the most commonly used
ingredient in eye drops over here....it's prescription only but is the
first thing usually given (I have a reaction to it personally so can't
use it)...

Got any stuff to back up the "last resort antibiotic" stuff?

I haven't figured out how to insert hyperlinks in Agent, but a search
will take you to Merck Manual, PDR, etc. And you will find the last
resort stuff wherever you look. This drug needs to be saved for
typhoid, meningitis and serious stuff like that.

If you are looking for a chemical, the web sites of chemical companies
like www-sigma-aldrich.com are good first bets. Safety information is in
the "material safety data sheets (MSDS)" which they have to publish on
all their products.

Also worth looking for is www.chemfinder.com, although unpaid access is
now much more restricted than it used to be during the dot-com bubble.

In the world of human medicine, chloramphenicol is a very powerful
weapon against some very specific targets and it is one to which we
really don't want to see too many bacteria developing resistance. It
has been compromised during the past couple of decades, in spite of
careful prescribing, but it really is in a whole different ballpark
than tetracycline and erythromycin. And unlike the more common
antibiotics, chloramphenicol's adverse side effects can be far more
serious. Physicians always think twice before prescribing it - do a
web search, read all about it.
