Recent studies found this chemical in all of the human samples that were examined, implying widespread contamination of people's bodies. We are in deep water, folks.

Worryingly, examination of those recently deceased has found high levels of dihydrogen monoxide in their bodies, leading scientists to ponder whether every person who knowingly or unknowingly consumes this chemical will actually one day die.

I've heard that it's so addictive that people who stop using it will die from withdrawal in a matter of days.

Not unless there's a whole bunch of it, we're not. Although dyhydrogen monoxide does make up about 60 of a human, so for any individual person, you're correct.

DHMO can cut a person into 60 pieces is what I take away from that statement, and that's yet another reason to keep this dangerous chemical under very strict lock and key. Won't someone think of the children?
