Second of all, DMSO is a solvent. If you rub DMSO on yourself, you'll get a sort of garlic-breath happening because of the DMSO absorption and excretion in your breath, but not much else.
Third, change your name.
Idiot.

Citruscide said:Another problem with using DMSO is that it will not only bring in the item you wish it too... but also every other impurity on your skin such as bacteria or other things you just do not want in your body.
Also, the skin IS a filter... it will filter out some of what you want to get into your body, thus, skewing your dosages... now... your skin is not a HEY GREAT FILTER! It's an organ... which means, as it absorbs these impurities... it can be damaged as well.
DMSO is just a bad idea all around the board...

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.

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.
