> it's no dimethylmercury, or even DMSO Skimmed an article on the latter… “DMSO has the unusual property that many individuals perceive a garlic-like taste in the mouth after contact with the skin.” — Darn. Wasn’t quite sure things like these are possible. “DMSO can cause contaminants, toxins, and medicines to be absorbed through the skin.” “In Australia it is listed as a schedule 4 poison, and a company has been prosecuted for adding it to products as a preservative.” — What about other countries?! China? Overall, the kind of information that I wish I didn’t have to know. Useful, but now I’m left to wonder what else am I blissfully unaware of. By the way, what about fuel used in modern fighter jets (military industry is known for environmental tradeoffs), anyone knows if byproducts are harmful to those on the ground? Trying to figure out whether noise is the only issue with living by an military base with low-flying fighters every day.
