I believe it was a horse liniment but not exactly approved for human use. What was so good about it though, was it's penetrative powers. Really amazing. Within seconds of touching the stuff, it goes through your body so that you can even taste it in your mouth. Kind of too bad it has such a strong nasty smell and taste, though, yuck! Anyway, the smell kind of took some getting used to. This kneecap thread had me thinking though, what if we soaked minced habs in DMSO and then used that for a liniment? I'll bet the DMSO would transport the capsaicin deeper than any other method of application. And the flavor of the habs would surely have to help with the nastly smell/taste of the DMSO. Ok, years from now when they finally get the DMSO controversy figured out and somebody makes a million from their patent for DMSOHab cream, you'll know I thought of it first!
