Dear Suzy,
While I know of no dangerous proportions of DMSO
X CS mixtures, one of the most effective is that related to the list
earlier in the day, by James Osbourne Holmes.....being 50% by 50%. Quite
effective solutions may be produced using concentrations incorporaating
as little as 25% DMSO (by volume). One small detail; it would be
adviseable to remember to pour concentrated DMSO into the other liquid
(water-bearing), as this insures an expanding of the heat-effect. There
are circumstances involving the mixing of DMSO and other substances that
could....conceiveably.....liberate heat in a centralized
manner----similar to that experienced when water is poured into
concentrated acids; although not with the degree of potentially
explosive results.
Sincerely, Brooks Bradley.
