Just one little caution when using DMSO
multiple readers have asked for my experience, and this is one thing to watch out for
I have a little handpainted chest in my bathroom, nothing fancy, rather old. Been packing zillions of boxes (my movers arrive later this week) and my knees were killing me, so thought I would give the old DMSO another try. It comes with a special plastic top, which only drips out one drop every 5-10 seconds, so naturally, I removed it to easily get a sufficient amount.
Apparently some dropped down the side of the bottle, unnoticed. I set the bottle down on the chest between uses, and then was gone for 5 days. On my return, I noticed new white marks on the top of the chest. The DMSO had apparently melted/removed/discolored the most recent layer of the paint.
It has not dissolved my skin, but the stuff must be powerful. Be careful with this stuff.
There is another issue that is not obvious to the user. I went to my physician and told him that my back issue is improving since I have been using DMSO.. His response was: Tom I know that because I can smell it! You are expressing DMSO when you breathe out. It may be a problem if you are trying to attract the opposite sex.!
I never use pure DMSO directly on to my skin. I put Castor Oil in the palm of my hand and add few drops of DMSO.
