DSMO is a solvent, a byproduct of wood processing. It can assist some molecules in passing through skin. Please note, it does not grab bacteria and pull it through skin, that’s FUDD. They are far, far too big for that. It is in fact studied as an adjuvant for antibacterial agents, as it can help antibacterial compounds penetrate bacterial biofilms. There is evidence that alone it may assist some viral activity, likely by effecting something in regards to RNA. Conversely, it may help the activity of antiviral agents by helping them penetrate deeper, preventing the strategies viruses use to hide from being as effective. I personally have no reservations to its use on skin, so long as the area is washed. Basically don’t work on your car and then apply it to your oily hands.
