This sounds a lot like what is happening to him Sol. He too is really sensitive to things such as even having weights resting on his arm will bring him up in lumps. Things like finishing plaster which he works with all the time will also do this. I gave him just five drops of stabilised oxygen once, and he had the 'runs' for a day and a half. I can have twenty drops of this three times a day with no ill effects, and when I have had computer mouse thumb' I have smothered it in DMSO gel and don't get any reaction at all.
We have left everything off for the time being and are playing it by ear, so to speak, but ever since he had the DMSO his leg has been a lot better, so I am keeping my fingers crossed that it stays this way.

So in addition to them being usually way too strong in DMSO I would get an allergic reaction not limited to the application site. I prefer to use 99% pure DMSO, diluted to between 10% and 30% with CS. I use a lot more DMSO at 10% than at 30% too. My skin is very sensitive to it. I have thought I am a person with high histamine at all times. So perhaps my inability to tolerate high percentage DMSO is due to the histamine release DMSO causes. Maybe your husdand is sensitive to an ingredient in the get, which the DMSO would take throughout the whole body, or perhaps he is sensitive to the histamine release. sol
