Malachite Green

[Aquarius0015]

How long is its chemical half-life? I read it somewhere and I cannot and cannot remember where for the life of me.

"Malachite green was rapidly and extensively metabolized to its reduced, colorless form leucomalachite green. Leucomalachite green was slowly eliminated from muscle with a half-life of 10 days."
