Yes. Dimethyl sulfoxide is dangerous. It is a polar aprotic solvent and can transport compounds through the skin and body extremely well. It is an industrial chemical, and not approved for use on humans by the f.d.a. If you are going to use it topically, dilute it a lot and use with something like aloe vera, vit c, tart cherry juice, activated silica, or some antioxidant because dimethyl sulfoxide is an oxidant. Only use on extremely clean skin because any crap on there will get dissolved into bloodstream, muscle, fat, who knows - maybe even bone.

What substance beside water can be involve in hydrogen bonding?
hydrogen fluoride Alcohols like methanol, ethanol. Solvents like dimethyl formamide (DMF) or dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO)
What is the solvent for x-Gal?
The preferred solvent for X-Gal is dimethlylformamide (DMF). Some laboratories uses fresh high-quality dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) as solvent for X-Gal.
Is dimethyl sulfoxide inorganic or organic?
Organic
What are the example of polar solvent?
Water, alcohols, carbonyls (eg ketones, aldehydes ect), nitriles ect.
What is dimethyl used for?
Dimethyl trisulfide is used as trap for Calliphora Loewi.
What is the geometry of Ph3SnCl and DMSO complex?
Use the link below to begin your investigation of the geometry of Ph3SnCl and the polar aprotic solvent DMSO (dimethyl sulfoxide).
Does dmso dissolve silicone?
DMSO is an abbreviation for dimethyl sulfoxide. It does not appear to dissolve silicone, especially in breast implants, but its true impacts are not quite known. It is best to speak with your doctor.

How do cryoprotectants work especially DMSO?
Cryoprotectants work as an antifreeze to prevent formation of ice crystals and aid in the process of vitrification, a method of converting biological tissue into a strange kind of low-temperature glass that is totally free of ice crystals. Two Cryoprotectants are glycerol and DMSO (DiMethyl SulfOxide) which, when used together, enhances cryroprotection as much as double than when used alone, possibly because of a decrease in toxic effect. They work by diffusing into cells and replacing much of the body's water. Deb
Why does eating asparagus make your pee stink?
Certain ingredients in asparagus are metabolized, giving urine a distinctive smell due to various sulfur-containing degradation products, including various thiols, thioesters, and ammonia. Some of the volatile organic compounds responsible for the smell are:methanethiol, dimethyl sulfide, dimethyl disulfide, bis(methylthio)methane, dimethyl sulfoxide and dimethyl sulfone.
What is dimethyl used for?
Dimethyl trisulfide is used as trap for Calliphora Loewi.
What the solubility of 1-keto-beta-boswellic acid?
Soluble in acetone, dimethyl formamide, DMSO, dichloromethane, 100% ethanol or methanol; sparingly soluble in water.
How many moles of carbon are in 4 moles of dimethyl sulfoxide?
Dimethyl sulfoxide is the chemical name for the molecular formula C2H6OS. It is comprised of carbon (C). hydrogen (H) and oxygen (O). Based on the molecular formula we know that for every one mole of C2H6OS there are 2 moles of C atoms. Therefore, using this ratio of 1 mole C2H6O : 2 moles C the answer to the problem is 8 moles C.
