| We should find a way to control this substance! DHMO has some positive benefits but only if handled with care. Personally I have extensive training in this area and am currently using the frozen variation in a concoction that involves some form of alcohol. |

| Correct application of the frozen form should only be done with adult supervision. I'm on my way...! |

| Even a teaspoon can kill an infant.
And, it contributes to global warming.
And I think I just saw someone put a little in the food on Hell's Kitchen. |
