The DMSO I buy comes in a plastic bottle...?

Not only does DMSO cause some plastics to become brittle but it will literally dissolve some plastics, rubber and latex which will cause it to be drawn into the body. Extreme care should always be taken when not using glass to mix or use DMSO. 2. Some people use aloe vera gel or emu oil to help with the itching after the DMSO has absorbed into the skin. DMSO causes the histamine to release which causes the itching but after using it in the same area for a while the histamine will deplete and no longer itch or as badly anyway. This is from Garnet the person who owns [I'm not sure if she still does] the DMSO yahoo group... "The itching that is immediate after DMSO application is due to the release of histamine from mast cells in the skin. Once this depot of histamine has been depleted with further use of DMSO on the same area in the following hours or days the itching upon application will subside. Itching can be from drying of the skin. I use Emu Oil because it is such a wonderful moisturizer and not at all greasy, soaks right in. It is also an anti-inflammatory and a carrier that approaches DMSO as far as subderm delivery goes. Aloe Vera gel is also a good one and either can be used before the DMSO to prevent drying......Garnet " Sandy --- On Fri, 12/7/12, Dr. James McCourt <dr...@earthlink.net> wrote: Agreed on glass being better. DMSO always brittles and cracks plastic around here. How do you keep DMSO from itching for days after use? -- The Silver List is a moderated forum for discussing Colloidal Silver.
