Michael Dourson: Too much of a good thing?

We have all likely heard someone say something is “too much of a good thing.” This applies to foods like ice cream, drinks, wine and many kinds of activities, like watching movies. However, this also applies to chemicals to which we are exposed every day or about which we often read in our daily news.
In fact, all chemicals are toxic at some level. Some can cause harm at very small concentrations while others need a large amount before there is a danger to our health. For example, ingesting large amounts of dihydrogen monoxide can cause low blood sodium concentrations leading to nausea, fatigue, confusion and seizures and even death. But few people would want to ban di-hydrogen (H2) mono-oxide (O) also known as “water” from public sale and or other uses since water is safe and necessary when we drink a normal amount.

USA TODAY
DENVER – Helen Oh was walking down the sidewalk of the downtown 16th Street pedestrian mall in April when two young men approached from the other direction.
The coronavirus pandemic had been spreading in the United States for a month, and Asian American community groups were warning of a disconcerting surge of hateful and racist language directed toward them, tied to the virus’ origins in China. Oh, an attorney, was on her guard.
The two men drew closer.
“Infected and disgusting,” one called out as they passed, she said.
Heart racing, she ducked into a drugstore.
“I didn t think to say anything back when I heard it, she said. It really only sunk in as I was walking away.
Asian Americans across the United States are reporting a significant increase in hate crimes, harassment and discrimination tied to the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic.
