Have you heard about dihydrogen monoxide (DHMO)?
It has some pretty scary health implications...

There have been a number of fatalities in recent years attributed to DMHO
intoxication. IIRC Andy Warhol was a victim of DMHO intoxication. Inhaling
DMHO has been documented as causing an even greater number of deaths. I can't
even begin to comment on the catastrophic damage to the environment due to
excessive amounts of DMHO.

Oh yes, but me living here in the desert, I'm breathing in less than you
probably are.
On a serious note, I know someone whose wife is in jail because of the
death of their adopted daughter due to a DHMO overdose. Very sad story.

Except that botox is a real neurotoxin.
