Chlorine Dioxide: Risks and Lack of Evidence for Pathogen Elimination
There is no scientific evidence to support the claim that chlorine dioxide kills pathogens in humans. In fact, chlorine dioxide is a toxic gas that can cause serious health problems, including:
* Respiratory problems, such as coughing, wheezing, and shortness of breath
* Eye irritation, such as redness, watering, and pain
* Skin irritation, such as redness, itching, and burning
* Nausea and vomiting
* Diarrhea
* Headache
* Fatigue
* Confusion
* Seizures
* Death
Chlorine dioxide is also a known carcinogen, meaning that it can cause cancer.
There are no known benefits to drinking chlorine dioxide, and it is important to avoid exposure to this toxic gas. If you are exposed to chlorine dioxide, seek medical attention immediately.
