    This is true, Dihydrogen monoxide (another name for this chemical) is the number one cause o swimming pool related deaths with many fatalities every year. Just a small amount inhaled into the lungs can cause death and it has also caused death when ingested in large enough quantities because it upsets the electrolyte balance in the body! The sad part is that all pools and hot tubs contain large amounts of this dangerous chemical that is also used as an industry solvent, coolant in nuclear plants, as a fire suppressant and retardant, in biological and chemical weapons manufacture, and many other industrial uses!

    It's gaseous form can cause severe burns and in solid form it can actually damage skin with extended contact and lead to gangrene!

    You might know it by another name...water...and everything I said about it is the truth (steam is water in gas form and can burn you and snow and ice, solid water, can cause frostbite and that can lead to gangrenes) SO think twice about the 'dangers of chemicals in your pool". The dangers of water borne illnesses from improperly sanitized water are MUCH greater and what you SHOULD be worrying about!
