DMSO and Copper

Dierks · Apr 10, 2020

Hey @Randy Holmes-Farley can you tell me if DMSO and Copper will be okay together in a tank. I am using DMSO to dissolve Fenbendazole and simply want to make sure I can add it to a tank with Copper Power.

thank you so much in advance!

At the levels used, I don't expect any interaction between DMSO and copper in seawater.

is dmso highly toxic to handle/avoid skin contact / high degree of concern or is that just ncis episodes talkin

something worth searching i never forgot for thirty years: as a teen I read about a surgery patient who via skin cream metabolism issues killed surgeons when they did abdominal surgery and exposed metabolically-converted dimethyl so to the operating crew

could be urban myth/searching

for sure dmso was a murder weapon lol on ncis who can forget Pauli’s assessment

Pure DMSO is fairly non-toxic, unless you are drinking the stuff. Following normal precautions for handling chemicals would be sufficient.

wow they have used that for amazing medical applications. Injecting into the spine to increase perfusion across membranes some search returns show.

what’s its role in fish disease prevention am curious-increase permeability for copper? A copper slingshot.
