Don't try to make it seem safer than it is. More telling name for Dihydrogen Monoxide is Hydroxic Acid.
Hydroxic Acid has Ph level of 7, which is highest of all acids. It easily damages metals like iron and even steel.
Furthermore, it can cause fire or even violent explosions in contact with alkali metals.
Under the influence of electricity, it will also produce highly explosive, odorless gas.

STAY AWAY FROM HYDROXIC ACID!!!

It gets worse: it's extremely addictive. Research has shown that habitual users who want to detox die within 48 hours unless they start consuming it again.

I hear, it's so potent, you can dilute it all you want and it remains just as dangerous...

Hydroxic acid also kills thousands of people a year, either by inhalation or just ingesting too much of it
