[pct-l] DMHO found in PCT water sources!

[ROYROBIN@aol.com (ROYROBIN@aol.com)]

<< In many areas of the west,  high levels of DHMO have been found.  Known to
 scientists as Dihydrogen Monoxide, the study found that even though the
 chemical is generally safe in undiluted form, even small quantities can be
 deadly when mixed with other substances.  >>

I can't find the source at the moment, but recall a recent scientific study
that proved beyond any reasonable doubt that laboratory rats force-fed
sufficient quantities of DHMO invariably died.  Early season northbound PCT
thruhikers can expect particularly high concentrations of this chemical in
the Sierra sections and should take all precautions against excessive
exposure.
