Years ago when I worked with a bunch of loggers up in Oregon, lots of them
used some stuff called DMSO on sore muscles and joints. 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!
