Infectious Diseases Specialist,  's  Response
Hello,
Thank you for your contact to healthcare magic.
I understand your health concern, if I am your doctor I suggest you that formaline won't stay in our body system for prolong period. It will be detoxified by the liver in a day or so depending on the concentration on the body. There are some studies which shows that formaldehyde is potential carcinogen. Prolonged exposure should be avoided for future malignancy.
I will be happy to answer all your future concern.
Thank you,
Dr Arun Tank
Infectious disease specialist.
Wish you a best health at health care magic.
