The tanks in my room and I used it. Am I gonna get sick by the air? I know it seems like a stupid question but I don't need cancer or to be in a hospital puking blood. Please get back to me
 
As posted in your other thread, just read the caution labels. I have never used this particular medication but I would assume your good.
Don't drink the aquarium water and you should be fine.
 
API sell rid ick in liquid formula. I used gloves cuz I hate getting the dye on my fingers. If your tank is next to where you sleep just make sure it's fully cover or power the water level so it wouldn't splash on you.
 
Rid-Ick "liquid" contains Malachite green.
Malachite green is a known carcinogen, and can cause chromosomal damage with prolonged skin and/or other exposure.
I looked up the Material Data Sheet (MSDS) on the Rid Ick powder, and it is rated 0,0,0 0 for toxicity. So in essence, safe
Because certain medications can build up in fish flesh, this is one of the reasons you are advised "not" to eat your aquarium fish.
I use salt 99% of the time as as ick cure, and why I will eat, and have eaten my fish, if the need arises.
 
I will eat, and have eaten my fish, if the need arises.
So far the need to eat my fish has not come up.
Not judging, our pet fish is someones dinner somewhere I get that.
Can I ask what kind of fish you ate? Was it tasty?
Just curious.
 
I heard polypterus are pretty good, just ask Hendre Hendre
