Great catch, Ode. Once again this makes me wonder about putting
chlorine dixoide into the human body. At this point I am completely
neutral on the claims about its benefits. For all I really know, one
could drink it an perish immediately. It will be very interesting
indeed to read what researchers find out about this stuff!
Apparently small quantities of ClO2 are not particularly toxic to the
body since it is used for drinking water treatment with full FDA (which
doesn't mean anything) and EPA (which does mean something) approval.

An Interview with Chlorine Dioxide
Chlorine dioxide has been prominent in the news recently for its role
helping rid Senator Tom Daschle's office and the air ducts in the
Hart Senate Office Building of anthrax spores. This week (December
10, 2001) we sat down for an exclusive interview with this previously
obscure chemical.
KM- When you heard that Senator Daschle's office was going to have to
be fumigated, did you think you would get the gig?
ClO2- Well, I guess the EPA might have considered a few other
oxidizing agents: ozone, hypochlorites (my cousins), or peroxyacetic
acid. We're all in the union, but for fumigation (gas-phase)
applications, I guess I have the right combination of qualities. I'm
a gas at room temperature. As I said, I'm easily generated, and my
antimicrobial activity is very rapid. They might have gone with
ozone, but she's a bit too reactive, and they thought she might
destroy vital equipment or papers. The EPA actually tested me in a
sealed trailer before they decided to use me. I am proud to say that
I was effective without destroying any of the computers or papers.
KM- Any last words?
ClO2- Yes, I want to emphasize that I am a chemical, and I am proud
of it! As a matter of fact, I am a moderately toxic chemical. As
such, I sometimes suffer from the misconceptions and prejudices that
people have of me. I feel privileged to have the opportunity to serve
so publicly in the service of humanity. Thank you.
