DMSO is a solvent, and easily passes through the skin and into the tissues. It will also carry other substances along with it, so be careful what you have on the skin before handling DMSO.
If applying DMSO topically, be sure your hands and nails are clean and free from contaminants (including soap residue) when handling DMSO. You want to also be sure the area to which you apply DMSO is clean.
When washing an area of the skin before applying DMSO, it is best, if possible, to use natural, chemical-free soap to wash application areas and hands. Whether this is available or not, be sure any soap is completely rinsed off—or use no soap at all. Simply wash well (rubbing the skin) with clean water.

The best method to apply DMSO to the skin is simply to use clean dry bare hands when rubbing the DMSO into your body or on someone else.
If using bare hands to apply DMSO, do not wear finger nail polish. DMSO is a solvent that will not only dissolve the polish, but will also carry its toxic ingredients through the skin and into the body. You can cover your hand in a plastic sandwich bag (this type of plastic in general, is OK for use with DMSO) to apply the DMSO.
After handling DMSO, never wash it off with soap as it can carry the soap into the skin/tissues. Simply rinse the hands well with clean water.
Keep full strength DMSO out of your eyes.
Do not use most common gloves (rubber, latex, etc.) with DMSO. It can dissolve the gloves. Even dissolving a tiny bit of the gloves can then transfer the rubber or latex into your body. Gloves made of non-stretchable plastic are OK to use with DMSO. Normally DMSO will not hurt one’s hands, and gloves are not needed. (If applying frequently or in large amounts for some skin types it may cause the skin to become wrinkly, but this soon passes.)
Never add DMSO to an enema solution. The colon contains many toxins the body is flushing out. If you put DMSO in the colon, you can return some of those toxins back into the blood stream. WARNING ●

Do not allow DMSO to come into contact with calcium hypochlorite (MMS2). This will cause immediate combustion with extreme heat and fire. In this case, it does not need a spark to start the

fire instantly. Use water to put out such a fire but stand back as the water will spatter. INGESTION WARNING ●

Never use DMSO in a drink while at the same time taking calcium hypochlorite (MMS2) capsules. The DMSO can cause the MMS2 to heat and it could become very uncomfortable in your stomach. (If this should happen by accident, drink plenty of cold water to alleviate any discomfort.)

If adding DMSO to an MMS1 dose, as per Protocol 1000 Plus for example, you must calculate no more than 3 drops of DMSO to each drop of MMS1, and it must be mixed with at least 1/2 cup (4 ounces/120 ml) of water.

If on a protocol that calls for taking MMS2 in the same day as MMS1/DMSO doses, you can do this, but the MMS2 capsule must be separated out by one-half hour from the MMS1/DMSO doses. Never take a dose containing DMSO and an MMS2 capsule at the same time!

Grandson's Wart: My 8 year old grandson came to visit one weekend and had a horrible and huge wart on his knee. I actually mixed up three drops of MMS and citric acid and applied directly to the wart without diluting it at all. It did burn him a little but the next time I saw my grandson, about a month later, the wart had completely gone. It has been about a year ago now, and he has a scar where the wart was but no sign of another wart. —Tina, United States
