Banned in many countries for either cosmetic or food applications, it can induce cancer, cause genetic disorders and degenerative changes in liver and kidney are also possible by application of these colors. A dye called Malachite green, used to treat fungus on fish is carcinogenic. It can damage bones, eyes or lungs if consumed accidentally.
