  • It is a FOOD dye. You eat it every day. If there was evidence of it killing the fish, I'm certain we would see videos of that but there are none.....

  • @DecibelAlex The EPA outlawed fluorescein. It's vegetable dye.

  • Why were you zooming up to her breast at 0:19?

  • @mooser53

    It's not food dye.. THINK FFS it would take millions of liters to dye the river green!

    It's fluorescein, a chemical used in plumbing to find leaks in pipes, only needs a few drops to dye serveral liters. It's was supposed to be non-toxic but recently they've found out that it wasn't so non-toxic as they first thought.... But wtf it's a chemical. What immean ofcourse it's always someway toxic..... typical americans

  • did he dyed?

  • @mooser53 no its not food dye cuz food dye stains you its this sort of dye that doesnt stain and isnt toxic and no fish die from it cuz there would be dead fish every were lol
