Don't squirm at the thought of "horse treatments"! In ranch country, we used horse liniment all the time to sooth our own aches and pains.....works even better if you have a SO who can massage it in for you!
Yup yup yup!! LLDN, don'tcha just looovve that special DMSO taste? Somewhere between tuna oil, black olive brine, and kerosene.... MMMMMMMMmmmmmmmm!!!
I always thought of garlic as soon as it got on my hands. I had plenty of latex gloves for putting that stuff on I tell you!
Oh my gosh, how could I have forgotten the garlic overtones!?!?! You're so right!
Oh, just so y'all don't think we actually put DMSO into the mouth..... DMSO is an exceptionally effective transdermal agent. It penetrates skin and enters the bloodstream in a very short period of time, carrying with it whatever meds you mix the DMSO into. But it also gives you DMSO breath, which lingers for a couple hours, and is not dispelled artificially. In fact, it'll take all the pleasure out of whatever yummy food you eat to try to eliminate the DMSO taste..... So, when using the stuff for treating horse boo-boos, latex gloves are highly recommended! The poor horse just gets to live with the temporary effects on the tastebuds.....
