BOJ
In 2000, there were 3,482 unintentional DHMO inhilation events in the United States, an average of nine people per day.
U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention
It is estimated that for each DHMO inhilation death, there are 1 to 4 nonfatal submersions serious enough to result in hospitalization. Children who still require cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) at the time they arrive at the emergency department have a poor prognosis, with at least half of survivors suffering significant neurologic impairment.
American Academy of Pediatrics
DHMO inhilation is the second-leading cause of injury-related death among children under the age of 15.
