Overdose leads to kidney failure, with a prominent case making headlines in 2007. Despite this, it is popularly used by athletes as a performance enhancer.
It is the leading cause of corrosion and oxidation of metals. It contributes to erosion. Its primary industrial use is as a solvent and coolant.
Inhalation of even a small amount of DHMO can be fatal. In its solid form it can cause tissue damage. It's a major component of acid rain, and in its gaseous form it can cause severe burns.
