I received this from a mom on another list: <<When I asked the pharmacist about it, she said that gentian violet had been pulled off the market due to the carcinogens in it, and that an ingredient found in it was the same found in antifreeze! I was then told that I could find some at a herbal health store way downtown. I asked her if she was sure on that, and she checked her availability list. Apparently, there was a manufacturer she could **try** to get some in from. Has anyone else heard that gentian violet was carcinogenic?>> Can you email me privately as I am trying to do my income taxes and have been saving my lactnets for a treat when I get done.
