BellaOnline Forums Home and Garden Fish Question....

For those of you using Jungle Fungus Eliminator...there is a warning on the label that it contains an ingredient "known to the state of California to cause cancer"

Can anyone clarify this for me? Such as "when ingested" or "when inhaled" or something? I'm off to do a little self-guided research, but if anyone knows, just leave a little post...because I love my fish, but I'm not to keen on the whole idea of me battling cancer.......... <img src="/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />

Thanks!

Well, to answer my own question, it looks like the ingredient in question is potassium dichromate, which can cause cancer when inhaled. Now, my reasoning is that everything pretty much causes cancer, and there is probably very little potassium dichromate in this product, since it is the last ingredient. But to be on the safe side, don't be inhaling it either <img src="/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> And I'd probably wash up very well after using it.

Just a safety note for all of you!

Thanks Elise for that heads up! I'll keep that in mind should I ever use that product.
