The Dangers of DHMO

Di-hydrogen monoxide is one of the most dangerous substances on earth. Some people in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan have died from it. Scientists have reported traces of it in cancer cells and tumors. Should we ban it?



Di-hydrogen monoxide(DHMO) is simply water. The class watched a video Dr. Lowe made about the dangers of DHMO and it's effects on the NMU campus. We were asked afterwards to vote yes or no on whether to ban it without the knowledge that it was just water we were voting on. Being environmentally conscious I immediately voted yes. I learned that I need to do my research without making rational decisions. A rational decision like this one could lead to dangerous results. Science must be researched and continually question before voting on it.
