Possibly the DMSO diluted the venom and transported it away, where it was not concentrated enough to liquefy significant amounts of tissue.

When you don't know what is right, it is next to impossible to make a right decision. More like Russian roulette. I sure will let you all know how this all ended. And I wanted to thank you for your generous help :) Barbara That's what taking personal responsibility for your health-care decisions means. *You* are the only one who can decide what's best to try from among the options you are aware of. At least now she knows there are other options. Thanks for your caring Barbara. Please let us know how it turns out, whatever she decides to do. Be well, Mike D.
