After a short 1.5 hour sightseeing flight today I tried using 100% DHMO to
clean the bugs off the leading edges. It worked surprisingly well. Despite
my precautions, I got a little in my eyes and a lot on my hands and arms,
but I haven't noticed any adverse effects yet.

I've found that mixing it with bourbon reduces the hazards.

DHMO is a very dangerous substance and should be avoided at all costs!
It is responsible for a number of deaths each year. Read about it!

Thanks, Margy! And thanks to everyone else who warned me about the dangers
of DHMO. I am going to return the remainder of the gallon can my A&P sold me
and see if I can get my $87.15 back!
