Re: DMSO newbie needs advice on diluting.

[Guest guest]

I just checked, yes the container is a plastic, the roller is glass.

Cost was $3.59/3 oz.

Distributed by " Solvent Sales " of Melrose Park, Illinois.

I've had this for over a decade.

I think you guys are worrying this to death.

I've got plastic packaged DMSO that's over 30 years old from a friend

who got it from his vet.

Nothing ever deteriorated.

(must be a girl thing).
