In summary, there is a chemical that is widespread and potentially harmful, but there has not been enough warning about it in the news. The speaker believes that public awareness is key and urges others to take precautions. One person makes a sarcastic comment and another praises them for pointing out the obvious.

Thought you guys should all be warned about this chemical (if you haven't already been warned). Appearently very widespread; I don't know why there hasn't been more warning about this in the news, it could be an attempted cover-up.

I firmly believe that public awareness is the best defense in these situations. Please take whatever precautions are necessary to insure your own health and safety in this matter.
