DMSO trouble (it burns)

I have experienced some burning too, but only on certain parts of the body. I thought DMSO was very effective and wasn't too concerned with the mild irritation. I was using the 99% mixture.

I have used the 100% gel form, Burn's like hell use a diluted mixture!

I'm glad to hear that it isn't just me.

Be very careful with this crap! It's a solvent. Make sure your skin & hands are clean and be prepared for sleeping alone!

Oh I try to stay clean.

For some reason, mine isn't so stinky. Maybe it's the aloe. I also don't get the garlic taste. This was another reason why I asked about the burning sensation. I thought that I was some sort of an anomolie. Hmm.

don't rub the DMSO in, just dab it on your skin. By now, you've irritated the skin so bad it won't matter much but next time, dab it on with a cotton ball, no rubbing. Rubbing gives you a burn similar to a sunburn.

Hey, can someone explain to me the wisdom for sticking aloe in DMSO??? DMSO is a solvent, and can pretty much dissolve anything because of it's chemistry (both organics and ionic substances). I'm guessing the aloe is to prevent skin irritation, but I'm guessing that the DMSO can dissolved some of this shit and carry it into your blood stream. I can't imagine that is a good thing. Someone please educate me here.

DMSO without the shitty taste? Are you sure you got any dmso in there, or is it all aloe???

It could be camel's urine for all I know. Want to know why they used aloe in the mix? 1800.367.6935.

Just dilute it with water.

That stuff is still around?! I remember using that in 1983 while in HS. DMSO on a bandage wrapped under tin foil (I have no idea).

My mum cut off my supply when the pharmacy told her it was used by the dry cleaner next store to take out spots...

You area drumbass. I may have drank ethanol, but don't even thing about touching DMSO. There was a chemist a few years back that was toying with that stuff and lead and wound up dead within 6 monthcs. DMAO=horrible/toxic solvemer that carries stuff through your blood.

and you had some tonight with your martini?

Don't be afraid. The cells of your body naturally contain DMSO and its other form, MSM (they change back and forth).

Any idiot who does anything with lead is a dumbass. You could say Coke-a-cola is bad too, if you drank it from lead containers.

News: Lead is bad for you! Don't eat it!

As for DMSO, it oxydizes your body (and skin). That's where the "buring" comes from (unless you are mixing it with some other irritant.) It will dry out your skin, but will work wonders with vascular injuries.

Same here. Used it in 1981. I thought it was debunked as useless years ago!
