Gentian Violet
Warning
Gentian Violet is extremely damaging to the ears/hearing cells. I would not use gentian violet on an adult, much less a baby. Any of the gentian violet systemically absorbed can damage your baby's hearing. Look up "Gentian Violet" and "Ototoxicity" for more information.

Angela from Vancouver Island posted this link: http://www.ec.gc.ca/mercury/EN/cstudy.cfm because she wanted readers to see the toxicity of mercury. You can confirm that Gentian Violet contains mercury on this site: http://www.ericsissom.com/health_alternative/mercury_in_products.htm
