DMSO is not well-behaved. It easily penetrates human skin, and carries solutes with it. Don't touch!

"DMSO can cause contaminants, toxins, and medicines to be absorbed through the skin, which may cause unexpected effects.

"Because DMSO easily penetrates the skin, substances dissolved in DMSO may be quickly absorbed. Glove selection is important when working with DMSO. Butyl rubber, fluoroelastomer, neoprene, or thick (15 mil / 0.4 mm) latex gloves are recommended. Nitrile gloves, which are very commonly used in chemical laboratories, may protect from brief contact but have been found to degrade rapidly with exposure to DMSO."
