I've used it off and on for years with mixed results. My wife and I are horse owners and she swears by it and often has "the breath" herself. It can burn sometimes for a while after application, but if you need any, check out your local feed store and it will likely be with the horse medications. If I had my choice, however, I'll take a good massage anyday to DMSO.
