You forgot to mention that DHMO is a major industrial solvent, a nuclear reactor coolant compound, a strong greenhouse gas contributing to global warming, and known to be corrosive to several metals. There's also a syndrome known as "DHMO Intoxication", caused by ingesting too much of the substance, symptoms of which include dizziness, vomitting, swelling of the brain, and eventual death.
Seriously, it's pretty dangerous stuff.
Yeah I was tempted to go nuts, but I wanted a short post. That and adding too much (especially stuff like "caused erosion of our natural landscape", "accelerates corrosion and rusting of many metals") would have given it away too easily and killed the original point.
It's a major component of acid rain!
