WARNING! Dihydrogen Monoxide

* 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.

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.
