Leaflets highlighting the dangers of DHMO listed such concerning facts as “is fatal if inhaled,” “is the major component in acid rain,” and that it “has been found in the excised tumors of terminal cancer patients.” As if that weren’t scary enough, the pamphlets also warned that the compound was used in nuclear power plants, pesticides, and Styrofoam.
