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.

It is used:

-as an industrial solvent and coolant,
-in nuclear power plants,
-by the U.S. Navy in the propulsion systems of some older vessels,
-by elite athletes to improve performance,
-in the production of Styrofoam,
-in biological and chemical weapons manufacture,
-in the development of genetically engineering crops and animals,
-as a spray-on fire suppressant and retardant,
-in so-called "family planning" or "reproductive health" clinics,
-as a major ingredient in many home-brewed bombs,
-as a byproduct of hydrocarbon combustion in furnaces and air conditioning compressor operation,

It is even found in the the water that YOU AND YOUR CHILDREN drink and bathe in.

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 are:

-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 and 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.

DHMO is DANGEROUS and should have been banned years ago. Please make sure that this year is the year we finally get rid of this horrible chemical once and for all.
