Was just gonna mention that.
However, he's right in that DMSO acts as an excellent solvating carrier for virtually EVERYTHING on your skin's surface.
Little bit of soap left on your hands? Little bit of pen ink? Rat poison from setting traps? It's all in your bloodstream after you slap DMSO on it.
I was doing some antimicrobial testing once with a colleague (testing novel organic compounds by dissolving them in DMSO, spotting them on a culture plate, and looking for zones of inhibition at various concentrations of substance). Well, she accidentally spilled some of one of the DMSO-solvated compounds on her upper wrist (above her glove) when she mis-handled a vial... we got it rinsed with acetone, ethanol, then hexanes (to try and leach out the organics), and finally water. Even with less than 30 seconds of absorption time of the DMSO-solvated compound, she was VIOLENTLY ill about an hour later. We got most of the spot off within 10-12 seconds (I THREW acetone on her arm ASAP), but she had still absorbed a significant enough amount of compound to really make her sick.
Something to think about when it comes to DMSO.

It wasn't the DMSO, it was just the fact that the DMSO carried the compound across the epidermis and into the bloodstream...
I use DMSO-based gels (25% DMSO in petroleum jelly + active ingredient) for all kinds of good stuff... topical anti-inflammatories do well in this mix.
Just gotta make sure your skin, your DMSO, and your product are ALL extremely clean.

Extremely clean, yes... in the bathroom of your house, you'll get your skin extremely clean.
While bacteria may be too large to pass into the bloodstream from the skin, it is not too large to pass into some of the inner layers of skin and can cause some light, mild or serious skin infections.
Choose your posion, I suppose.

If that was directed at me, I just want to make it clear that I have no illusions about home-based 'bathroom clean'.
Not starting a flame war with you here, C-Ditty - just making sure that nobody interprets my statements regarding 'extremely clean' as being the sort of clean you get when you just run your hands under water for a few seconds.
By extremely clean, I mean something like a surgical scrub with a mild detergent soap... something that no one does in a home environment. I quite often take an alcohol wipe and swab my knee before I apply the DMSO/PLO gel concoctions I've been prescribed in the past, just for posterity.
