Hope this helps you. **Q: how to remove this purple stuff off an animal** A: From my experience the problem is getting it to stay on an animal. It seems to wash off in rain within a couple of hours. It may stain feathers but on skin is seems very poor. I’ve mixed it with Vaseline and painted on rather than spray and it still wears away within 3 days. **Q: Why is this product for animals only?** A: they decided that it's not safe for humans after rat tests where they feed them over course of months/years with large dosses of violet and it resulted in carcinogenic tumors developing in their bodies, There are scarce evidence that this same goes for humans so in my opinion they summed it up as ''if rats get it and they are mammals then humans surely will too'' but then again they were feeding them violet, so unless anyone wants to drink it over the course of months i doubt it is THAT harmful, and saying that overdosing medication of any kind isn't good even paracetamol will kill you if overdosed. So here is my opinion on that, and based on my own research regarding the Gentian Violet... **Q: Can you please tell me how millilitres this bottle holds** A: sorry, can't give you millilitres, but it will last you for ages, bottle is about height of my hand. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Brilliant product *by A***E on 30 November 2024* I thoroughly recommend this for any chicken keepers.
