How easy is it to make a substance sound dangerous?

Let's talk about the dangers of dihydrogen monoxide.

Dihydrogen monoxide, also known as hydric acid:

may cause death due to accidental inhalation, even in small quantities

has been found in excised tumors of terminal cancer patients

is the major component of acid rain

contributes to the greenhouse effect

contributes to land erosion

can cause severe burns

accelerates corrosion and rusting of metals

has been known to cause dangerous electrical short-circuits

has allegedly been used in the torture of prisoners at Guantanamo Bay

Most people and animals who have consumed significant amounts of dihydrogen monoxide have died.

Despite these dangers, dihydrogen monoxide is often used:

as an industrial solvent and coolant

in nuclear power plants

in the production of Styrofoam and other synthetic insulators

as a fire retardant

in the production of certain junk food and other edible products

in the distribution of pesticides; even after washing, residual dihydrogen monoxide often remains on produce surfaces

Additionally, dihydrogen monoxide was recently found in main pipes of at least several major cities nationwide.
