That is WICKED!!! Any adverse health risks? When I looked it up it says to use a 1% solution... does it COME in a 1% solution or do you have to mix it up yourself?
details man, DETAILS!!
Yes, it comes in a 1% solution. You should be able to get it at any drug store. It's used for cold sores inside the mouth, because it gets down into the tissue and won't wash off.
Eating small amounts of gentian violet won't hurt; they used to use it in babies mouths to get rid of thrush.
Well, when you figure it out, remember that it is colorless when applied to most surfaces, like, for instance, toilet seats.... It is only when transferred to damp skin that it turns blue. Wife and/or girlfriends have a hard time dealing with a blue bum, ha ha!
