We must BAN water now ,think of the children !

US woman dies of water intoxication .... SMHonline

 

A 28-year-old woman has died of water intoxication after taking part in a Californian radio station's water drinking contest.

 

She was in the "Hold Your Wee for a Wii" competition trying to win a Nintendo Wii video game system.

 

Assistant Sacramento County Coroner Ed Smith said a preliminary investigation found evidence "consistent with a water intoxication death".

 

Jennifer Strange's mother found her daughter's body at her home on Friday in the Sacramento suburb of Rancho Cordova, California, after Strange called her supervisor at her job to say she was heading home in terrible pain.

 

"She said to one of our supervisors that she was on her way home and her head was hurting her real bad," said Laura Rios, one of Strange's co-workers at Radiological Associates of Sacramento.

 

"She was crying and that was the last that anyone had heard from her."

 

Earlier Friday, Strange took part in a contest at radio station KDND 107.9 in which participants competed to see how much water they could drink without going to the toilet.

 

Initially, contestants were handed 220mL bottles of water to drink every 15 minutes.

 

"They were small little half-pint bottles, so we thought it was going to be easy," said fellow contestant James Ybarra of Woodland, California.

 

"They told us if you don't feel like you can do this, don't put your health at risk."

 

Ybarra said he quit after drinking five bottles.

 

"My bladder couldn't handle it anymore," he added.

 

After he quit, he said, the remaining contestants, including Strange, were given even bigger bottles to drink.

 

"I was talking to her and she was a nice lady," Ybarra said. "She was telling me about her family and her three kids and how she was doing it for kids."

 

John Geary, vice president and marketing manager for Entercom Sacramento, the station's owner, said station personnel were stunned when they heard of Strange's death.

 

"We are awaiting information that will help explain how this tragic event occurred," he said.

Its clear that water must be banned ,to protect the kiddies ! They might get intoxicated and die copying this ,just like the kids copying Saddam's hanging !

[moKing]

Yeah it can't be good stuff, just look what it does to wood and metals.

[mull]

 

OH SHIT NO! I been usin that to feed the plants!

Fish fuck in water...

Can't water cause madness ?

If dripped onto the forehead long enough, users are reported to have gone crazy !

We need the government to help us with this, good to see the americans are already involved

I've heard that water, when processed becomes what's known on the street as "Snow" or "Ice" and has claimed countless lives accross the world.

[Iceage]

I have a large stein, it's over a litre and I skulled one of these in less than 30 seconds. I think I could have done another of these after 15 minutes, probably even in less time. I might have to try it one time but after reading this and how water intoxication occurs, I might try it right out the front of a hospital.

DownUnderDoper is right , Dihydrogen Monoxide is an essential component in the production of ICE

from the DHMO.org site....

What is Dihydrogen Monoxide?

Dihydrogen Monoxide (DHMO) is a colorless and odorless chemical compound, also referred to by some as Dihydrogen Oxide, Hydrogen Hydroxide, Hydronium Hydroxide, or simply Hydric acid. Its basis is the unstable radical Hydroxide, the components of which are found in a number of caustic, explosive and poisonous compounds such as Sulfuric Acid, Nitroglycerine and Ethyl Alcohol.

 

What are some of the dangers associated with DHMO?

Each year, Dihydrogen Monoxide is a known causative component in many thousands of deaths and is a major contributor to millions upon millions of dollars in damage to property and the environment. Some of the known perils of Dihydrogen Monoxide are:

 

 

* Death due to accidental inhalation of DHMO, even in small quantities.

* Prolonged exposure to solid DHMO causes severe tissue damage.

* Excessive ingestion produces a number of unpleasant though not typically life-threatening side-effects.

* DHMO is a major component of acid rain.

* Gaseous DHMO can cause severe burns.

* Contributes to soil erosion.

* Leads to corrosion and oxidation of many metals.

* Contamination of electrical systems often causes short-circuits.

* Exposure decreases effectiveness of automobile brakes.

* Found in biopsies of pre-cancerous tumors and lesions.

* Given to vicious dogs involved in recent deadly attacks.

* Often associated with killer cyclones in the U.S. Midwest and elsewhere, and in hurricanes including deadly storms in Florida, New Orleans and other areas of the southeastern U.S.

* Thermal variations in DHMO are a suspected contributor to the El Nino weather effect

I think you have taken this comment all out of proportion, but I could stlll be wrong.

[DownUnderDoper]

Not to mention it's implicated in the DEATH of some 50 Australian children each year and many adults.

 

It is seen by many as a harmless party substance, but we must get the message out there DHMO is a killer.
