- 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.
- Often associated with killer cyclones in the U.S. Midwest and elsewhere.

Ban it now

Apparently it's very rare in the south east. Hence the reason the Government don't give a toss. It's only us northerners that suffer !

Cancun climate change conference petition to ban DHMO

About time too! Four years since the original thing and they STILL allow this evil chemical to be used so freely.

A good friend of mine was actually told to drink more of the stuff by a doctor to help him recover more quickly from exercise. What people will do these days to help feed mega corporations' profits.

That's nowt! Would you believe it? They are selling Instant DHMO near us! Just add....

And now someone's dumped a load of Freeze-dried DHMO all over the road!

Crystallised DHMO is a real problem for local authorities. Many people are criticising them for not taking strong enough action while the government's response is for people to deal with it themselves and stop asking the state to fix their problems.

I wonder how many days of work have been lost to the country this month alone because of this evil stuff.

Apparently, if you add a good dollop of Whisky it renders the stuff harmless although it may cause some people to fall over.

I have some dehydrated in the cupboard - I'll throw it out now I've read that

Should have read all the previous posts! Off to sit on the naughty step now :-(

It's pernicious stuff, alright. I found some chunks of it in a Gin and Tonic recently, and it reacted with the heat in my room to eventually render the drink much less enjoyable.

Won't someone think of the children?

Hark at you with your London airs and graces!!

Here in Afghanistan, the NATO/ISAF troops use it in vast quantities, regardless of the proximity of their own troops, staff or the local population. The Taliban also use it, but in small quantities due to the difficulty they have with its transport. But you never read about it in the press, such is the extent of the cover up.

The local population even dink it before it's been purified by the above mentioned process, which has been banned. Indeed, it's a criminal offense to sell purified versions of it to the local population.

Oh, the humanity !
