Just found this. I thought I should warn all my friends.

Dihydrogen monoxide is colorless, odorless, tasteless, and KILLS uncounted thousands of people every year. Most of these deaths are caused by accidental inhalation of DHMO but the dangers of dihydrogen monoxide do not end there. Prolonged exposure to its solid form causes sever tissue damage. Symptoms of DMHO ingestion can include excessive sweating and urination, and possibly a bloated feeling, nausea, vomiting and body electrolyte imbalance. For those who have become dependent, DHMO withdrawal means certain death.

Dihydrogen Monoxide:
* is also known as hydric acid, and is the major component of acid rain.

* contributes to the "greenhouse effect."

* may cause severe burns.

* contributes to the erosion of our natural landscape.

*accelerates corrosion and rusting of many metals.

* may cause electrical failures and decreased effectiveness of automobile brakes

* has been found in excised tumors of terminal cancer patients.

--Contamination is reaching epidemic proportions!!!--
Quantities of dihydrogen monoxide have been found in almost every stream, lake, and reservoir in America and worldwide. DHMO has even been detected in both polar icecaps. DHMO has caused billions of dollars in damage in coastal communities and most recently in the upper US midwest.

Despite the danger, dihydrogen monoxide is often used:
* as an industrial solvent and coolant.
* in preparation of infant formula and baby food.
* in nuclear power plants.
* in production of styrofoam.
* as a fire retardant.
* in many forms of cruel animal research.
* in the distribution of pesticides. Even after throrough washing, produce remains contaminated by this chemical.
* as an additive in certain "junk-foods" and other food products.

Companies routinely dump DHMO into rivers and the ocean, and nothing can be done to stop them because this practice is still legal. The impact on wildlife is extreme, and we cannot afford to ignore it any longer.

The American government has refused to ban the productin, distribution, or use of this damaging chemical due to its "importance to the economic health of this nation." In fact, the Navey and other military organizations are conducting experiments with DHMO, and designing multi-billion dollar devices to control and utilize it during warfare situations. Hundreds of military research facilities receive tons of it through a highly sophisticated underground distribution network. Many stor large quantities for later use.

It's Not Too Late!!!
Act NOW to prevent further contamination. Find out more about this dangerous chemical. What you don't know CAN hurt you and others throughout the world. Write or call (or e-mail) your local, state, and federal representatives and tell them how you feel.
