Should Dihydrogen Monoxide be banned?

While we know about many toxic chemicals like Carbon Monoxide, Carbon Dioxide, Hydrogen Monoxide and many other. One chemical that we often ignore is Dihydrogen Monoxide(DHMO). The way it is effecting every human is unthinkable. While its side effects are historically considered minor and are ignored by people, no scientist denies the significant side effects caused by Dihydrogen Monoxide. In fact, it acts as a shelter to major source of bacteria and viruses. These bacteria and viruses attack human and cause severe damage to health, when a person gets into close contact with this compound. In few unfortunate cases, it is even fatal for the human.

It is time to acknowledge that the risks associated with DHMO has increased multiple fold now. This might be the correct time to consider banning DHMO from public use. Consider the number of people that will be saved by avoiding the diseases brought by DHMO. Diseases caused due to DHMO is only one of the major side effects. There are multiple other problems DHMO is creating. Below are only few examples I can think on top of my head-

• DHMO is a major component in ACID rains.
• Its contribution to Soil Erosion is well known to scientific communities.
• Experiments found DHMO inside the tumors causing cancer.
• Accidental exposure to gaseous form of DHMO can cause sever skin damage.
• Accidental inhalation of DHMO can even cause death.

Are people completely unaware of DHMO? I don't think so, they might not know the name. But, many people faced its effects either directly or indirectly. It is to be noted that, torture using DHMO is a standard practice being followed in many prisons across the world.

Where did researches found DHMO recently.

• In packaged food
• Many bath products
• Alcoholic beverages

We should also know about an incident that happened in Kerala recently. A dog after consuming DHMO reacted violently and attacked a 7 year old girl.

Looking at all this data, I want to ask-

• Why DHMO is not banned still?
• Is the industrial progress we are having worth, if we want a chemical like DHMO as part of our life?
• Why no NGO is taking the effects of DHMO seriously?

It is proven that people are ready to get away with DHMO once they know the side effects of this chemical. A research conducted by award-winning U.S. scientist Nathan Zohner concluded that roughly 86 percent of the population supports a ban on DHMO. It is time to avoid DHMO from our lives. Its time DHMO gets traction similar to Plastic.

Here is an excellent and enlightening article about DHMO Facts. Please do read it, that will give much more clarity on effects of DHMO.

I hope whoever read this article will think seriously and vow to avoid Dihydrogen Monoxide from their life's. As for as, I am concerned. I am already addicted to DHMO and in a state where I can't go back. 

By the way, I call Dihydrogen(H2) Monoxide(O) as water(H2O). 😁

P.S: Every sentence I used in this article is true. But, I have specifically mentioned few details while conveniently vomiting lot more details. That made drinking water look nasty. This article is just a satire on how we try to come for conclusion without knowing full facts. In reality, without DHMO life as we know doesn't exists.
