Botox, a neurotoxin, is one of the most poisonous naturally occurring
substances in the world, and it is the most toxic protein. It's about
one million times more toxic than, for example, strychnine (a common rat
poison). Just a few hundred grams of botox would be enough to kill every
human on Earth. (0.1 micrograms is enough to kill a person.)
Yet botox is used as a common cosmetic treatment around the world.

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.

Oops, thats DHMO not DMHO. I just washed my hands today and can't do a thing
with them.

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.
