Ok so.. my vet said to put it in a spray bottle and spray it on him.
I had a spray bottle that i had vinagar in. That's all that had ever been in that bottle. I washed it out with water but didn't dry it.
I noticed it steaming or smoking or whatever from that bottle when i poured it in there.
Thought that was wierd. Half thought i was seeing things.
But then i sprayed it on the dog and saw steam coming off of him. I know it was warm too.. i felt it to see of it was burning him or what.
So yeah... i got it on me too so i may have stunk last week.

You could have had a whole greyhound bus for yourself!
Acids act as a catalyst for the decomposition of DMSO, again no source for what the decomposition products are.

I have the Kindle Membership from amazon.de and there's a plethora of books with DSMO in the title…

are we talking about the same thing ? DMSO. or DSMO?

 

[Jenbirdee]

You are absolutely not irrational, DSMO has been used to drug and poison people by just placing some "active substances", dissolved in DSMO into their shoes. Solutions have been dripped onto clothing… ⚠

Dsmo or dmso? is that just a spelling error or an entirely different substance

Good catch!
This is the stuff I am talking about.

In the 1970's eating garlic was very unusual in Germany and you harvested strange looks after you ate some. Nowadays there's garlic everywhere - maybe except candy - because it adds that umami taste to our food.
Anyways, as teens we loved to eat garlic (very much to the despise of our parents and the teachers) and the one thing that i remember is, that if you eat garlic, you may smell like Gilroy California in June but you yourself won't notice it at all.
The best way to get rid of that garlic body odor is to make everybody else eat garlic too.
So @shawluvsbirds won't be able to tell you if she stinks now - but everybody else around her can!

It's garlic in many places here it's Ramps old timers told us they would eat a lot of ramps so the teacher would make them go home. I love ramps but you pick them in early spring when they are young or they can smell you coming a mile away.

We have a garlic festival in nearby Perth each Fall. I went one year and was disappointed. Not only do you pay admission, but every stall sold the exact same garlic at the exact same price. Which honestly was too expensive, imo. Wasn't really anything else, either.

Had a friend give me some homegrown garlic last Fall, and I planted a few of them. We shall see if they made it through the winter.

I have tried to cultivate ramp (aka wild leek) as well as bear-leek several times without success. I love that aroma! - Every member of the allium plant family contains plenty of sulfur and selenium compounds that are responsible for the aroma.
I found a plant in my pastures that smells onion`ish but i was too afraid to eat it, i heart that there is a wild plant here in the US that looks and smells like a wild onion but is poisonous.

Given an afternoon off from a project in San Jose, i decided to drive down highway 101 south, just to see what it looks like. I made it through the little town of Gilroy after which i had to stop and find something to eat immediately due to the appetizing smell of garlic that came out of the vents of my rental car.
Talking to the owners of the little hole in the wall i learned that Gilroy is the (self-proclaimed) garlic-capital of the world and that the garlic here is the of the best quality.
Bought some garlic for too much money and it was a disappointment. The Mexican garlic at our local supermarket in Houston was much stronger and had a better aroma…
