Don't forget that dangerous acetic acid!

It does look nasty, perhaps someone should organise a petition and try
to get DHMO banned.

Some basic facts about DHMO

Dihydrogen Monoxide (DHMO) is a colorless and odorless chemical
compound, also referred to by some as Dihydrogen Oxide, Hydrogen
Hydroxide, Hydronium Hydroxide, or simply Hydric acid. Its basis is the
highly reactive hydroxyl radical, a species shown to mutate DNA,
denature proteins, disrupt cell membranes, and chemically alter
critical neurotransmitters. The atomic components of DHMO are found in
a number of caustic, explosive and poisonous compounds such as Sulfuric
Acid, Nitroglycerine and Ethyl Alcohol.

Should I be concerned about Dihydrogen Monoxide?

Yes, you should be concerned about DHMO! Although the U.S. Government
and the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) do not classify Dihydrogen
Monoxide as a toxic or carcinogenic substance (as it does with better
known chemicals such as hydrochloric acid and benzene), DHMO is a
constituent of many known toxic substances, diseases and
disease-causing agents, environmental hazards and can even be lethal to
humans in quantities as small as a thimbleful.

What are some of the dangers associated with DHMO?

Each year, Dihydrogen Monoxide is a known causative component in many
thousands of deaths and is a major contributor to millions upon
millions of dollars in damage to property and the environment. Some of
the known perils of Dihydrogen Monoxide a * Death due to accidental
inhalation of DHMO, even in small quantities.
Prolonged exposure to solid DHMO causes severe tissue damage.
Excessive ingestion produces a number of unpleasant though not
typically life-threatening side-effects.
DHMO is a major component of acid rain.
Gaseous DHMO can cause severe burns.
Contributes to soil erosion.
Leads to corrosion and oxidation of many metals.
Contamination of electrical systems often causes short-circuits.
Exposure decreases effectiveness of automobile brakes.
Found in biopsies of pre-cancerous tumors and lesions.
Given to vicious dogs involved in recent deadly attacks.
Often associated with killer cyclones in the U.S. Midwest and
elsewhere, and in hurricanes including deadly storms in Florida, New
Orleans and other areas of the southeastern U.S.
Thermal variations in DHMO are a suspected contributor to the El Nino
weather effect.

You are talking to yourself again. Maybe you need to lie down?
