Activity 2 1-12-11 DHMO

Would you give DHMO to your mother?
From the looks of it, DHMO is a very serious chemical that humans and other life should not be exposed to. It has deadly features that may be detrimental to our health. No, I would not give it to my mother without further research.

Do you think the Government should research to better understand health affects of DHMO?
Yes, the government should intervene into how exactly DHMO effects our lives and what we can do as humans. It seems far too important to ignore.
