Hi to both Geordie and cdwall,

I used DMSO on horses for many years when I worked on the race track back in the early 70's. I totally agree with everything cdwall posted. It was easily available from large animal vets. Before I leave you with the wrong impression, I am NOT suggesting that you obtain your DMSO from a vet. Listen to cdwall. Get some high grade DMSO for human use. It has a very strong odor and you can "taste" it in your mouth upon application if you use your bare hands to apply.

I haven't thought about DMSO in years. The post brought back some fond memories of my horse days.

Let us know how things go with you.

BTW, big surprise to me too but it actually doesn't have a strong odor and you can't taste it in your mouth when applying by hand when you use the pharmaceutical grade stuff. Kinda scary to wonder what that was coming from in the vet grade stuff I used on horses all those years

Very interesting. The vet grade had an immediate "taste it" effect. That was also MANY years ago, back in the 70's so maybe even the vet grade has changed.

Thanks for the info. Glad to hear you don't have to "taste" it. (or smell it.)
