It has been identified as a major component in cancerous cells. It is extremely addictive, and those who consume it generally die within 3 to 4 days of withdrawal. 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.

Derpy waddles over and gently tugs at your leg. "But....is it still safe to use for coffee?" he asks in a worried voice, tears starting to form in his eyes.
