Should we ban DHMO?

After reading the earlier kissing bug article I decided to spread the word about dihydrogen monoxide, an environmental substance that kills thousands worldwide every year. Should it be banned? You decide!

  • DHMO does not actually exist in nature. What is most often found is a split mix of hydrogen hydroxide (a powerful base) and hypo-hydrous acid. both are equally dangerous, and if the mix get out of balance it can be catastrophic.

  • Not to worry! There is bigger fish to fry than DHMO!

    The FDA just approved 'genetically modified' salmon for us to eat, yum! :B

    Some people have a hard time telling the difference between giving people information so they can be responsible for themselves and inciting panic. Maybe those people scare easily?

    I for one am glad that I was taught as a child how to take practical steps for safety around DHMO, like scraping ice off the windshield B

    DHMO in its solid form is the leading cause of damage to RV plumbing!!! And, DHMO damage to an RV can total a unit!!

    But, maybe there is someone out there that doesn't know about DHMO or what we call it everyday. :W

  • I follow DHMO awareness on Facebook. I know, some days, I have way too much DHMO in my diet. I can tell, when I have to get up and go to the bathroom repeatedly.
