DMSO will carry anything below a critical molecular weight into and throughout the body; good stuff or bad stuff.
Therefore, clean the skin thoroughly with soap and water before applying it. I even go the extreme of rinsing the area with distilled water after rinsing away the soap with tap water, because most tap water is not to be trusted.

DMSO is another thing that has gotten a bad rap, and is really not toxic. The government came out and said that it could cause damage to the eyes. What they didn't tell you was that they gave the rats the equivalent of a person drinking a quart a day. At that point there seemed to be some damage to the eyes, though the rats didn't go blind, and the effect cannot be duplicated in other animals. So it probably wouldn't happen to you if you did drink a quart a day (heaven forbid!). The only usual side-effect is that if you use it too strong, it can irritate the skin. When I use it, I usually mix it with CS. For external use, I use it at 50/50. This relieves my husbands arthritis when applied externally to the painful joints. When I use it simply to make the CS penetrate, I usually use it 90% CS to 10% DMSO. I wouldn't breathe it any stronger than that, although I don't really know if it would hurt you or not. We have also sometimes added a drop of two of tea tree oil to the nebulizer. I have used the CS/DMSO solution (the weaker one) for ring worm and other skin problems with a great deal of success. I have reversed all kinds of infections, including abcesses, and blood poisoning by using this externally. By the way, there is a story that one lady died from taking DMSO. She was in Ireland, and was taking several other drugs. She took DMSO internally, got a allergic reaction, but continued taking everything. Yes, it killed her. It was a really dumb thing to do. For one thing, DMSO makes other drugs more effective, as it makes them penetrate more. Heaven only knows what she was allergic to, but you never keep on taking things if you get an allergic reaction. There is always somebody allergic to anything, and allergies can be dangerous. But these are the only problems that the government could dig up on DMSO. Considering how dangerous many drugs are, DMSO is extremely safe. Many people take it internally for arthitis pain control. We have never done that, so I have no experience with it.
