Are these tannins safe?

[Salty&Onion]

Hi all!

I found boiled some of my branches and twigs, I know I shouldn't but it's an emergency isn't it?, so I added some tannins which should help him a bit, but what is the problems here is that I found couple of maple or clan tree leaves on my parking where usually cars park (cars don't move there often around as much) and boiled them to use their tannins, but still haven't used the tannins yet and the leaves were partially covered with other leaves.

Do you think their tannins would be safe or not?

I don’t know for sure... @Byron should be able to help you.

No point in risking the fish. Never collect leaves from parking lots, roadways, sidewalks, or anywhere near to these. Boiling might remove the oil/gas/chemicals but then it is i the water so that can't be used. TLeaves and branches should only be collected in forested areas well away from industry, or in your backyard unless you use pesticides, fertilizers, or anything similar.

That is sort of what I was thinking.

There is a possibility that the leaves/branches have gasoline or oil in them. It’s just not worth the risk.

I haven't had the chance to use them anyways. Candy has passed away..

Hang in there, I felt like that when I lost my Dawson he was 17 years old and blind but the best dog we ever had.

I lost a dog too, Spike, he was 18 years and then I also lost two cats.
