All I remember is the stuff burned like hell and gave you garlic like breath. Didn't do much for ankle sprains for me.

I don't know about human consumption, but I can tell you I have had to use it on my horse via IV for 3 days and the smell is horrific, even in an open air barn. That smell will never leave me......

I remember back years ago you'd smell it from Arlington's parking lot following a $4K claiming race especially if JR Smith Sr. had one in.

Back in the 70,80s,&90s every barn used DMSO. For a rub you mixed in most liniments and IV jugs were common. Definitely reduced inflamation and as a mix increased the effectiveness of the mixed products. It was legal for human use in Oregon and clinics ran IV jugs for arthritis etc. Byproduct of pulp and paper and was dirt cheap.
60 Minutes ran a piece about it how the drug companies don't want this cheap product as a replacement for their expensive drugs. Question as to the side effects also.The cost of vet grade DMSO became sky high after the show aired.
Not involved in backstretch any more but I assume they test for it now although it wasn't illegal back then. Don't need much of a test as all you need to do is smell. Wouldn't bother some people but I couldn't stand the stuff .

Can't believe it is so cheap now. Back in the early 90's it was 4x the price. Obviously no longer in demand if it is testing.
