paraguard and tomatoes

[JeninOK]

Random heading I know But I treated my tank with paragaurd to help with some sort of unknown parasite I highly suspected was in my tank.
the problem is I didnt even think about and I used my python to run it out the front door and into my tomato plants.

I know that malachite green and formalin are both toxic and have been proven as carcinogens, but I don't know if Paraguard by seachem has either one.
but are the tomatoes ok to eat since they have been heavily watered with this medicated fish water?

Personally, I wouldn't eat them, it may not be enough to bother you in that small of a quantity, but if you have an allergy to it, it could be deadly.

Next question, how do you get it out of the garden soil?

Contact the manufacturer, I don't find an MSDS sheet on it \.

"ParaGuard™ employs a proprietary, synergistic blend of aldehydes, malachite green, and fish protective polymers that effectively and efficiently eradicates many ectoparasites (e.g. ich, etc.) and external fungal/bacterial/viral lesions (e.g., fin rot)"
