Now, you do need to worry about some of these obscure chemicals. There is
an entire web page devoted to the hazards of DHMO, di-Hydrogen Monoxide.
www.dhmo.org Check this out. It could save someone you love.

In deference to the warning label on the peanuts bag. Some people have life
threatening allergies to peanuts and take warnings such as that and warnings
on cookies, etc very seriously. But then again, you'd think with the main
label "Peanuts" would be sufficient. Perhaps, someone is making peanuts out
of soy beans already.

Following a recent airline flight, I was given a bag of peanuts, marked
"Peanuts" which contained a health warning "contains peanuts".
I was thinking that in a similar style that maybe electrical products
could have an added warning "may contain electricity".
The "may" would elude to the connection of a mains cable for mains
powered equipment, or even batteries in battery powered equipment. I think
the IEC should be prompt to act in this vital area.
Following this illogical train of thought, the swimming pool should have
a warning "contains water" and the ladder could have a warning "may alter
altitude".
But on a slightly more serious note (but not much) If I am ever present
when someone is about to do something interesting with electricity I always
advise that the person about to do the deed make sure to note who present
will provide the "kiss of life" when it all goes pear shaped. It tends to
work (although I don't know why, as I think I'm very kissable).
