consider:

DIHYDROGEN MONOOXIDE: The vapor can cause sever burns, the condensate
if breathed can cause death by drowning and the solid form can freeze
body tissue leading to loss of that tissue.

Also one of the components is a highly toxic gas that causes convulsions
at 1.6 bar pressure, leading to death if not promptly treated.

Also severe lung injury if breathed for longer than about 20 mins
continuously at lower pressures


Exposure to the pure gas at a pressure of one bar it will cause third
degree burns within seconds. You definitely won;t last 20 minutes.



BTW: DIHYDROGEN MONOOXIDE IS: H2O


And "HHO" gas is actually a misspelling of 2H2 + O2, also called
Brown's gas.
