[TowerTalk] US Tower Motor Winch in Winter

[WA9ALS - John]

I used to work with DMSO in a research lab.  Bad stuff.  Correct that it's
absorbed through the skin.  I don't really know the latest about it
medically, but I thought I remembered that it's not officially condoned for
that kind of medical use.  BE CAREFUL - don't use for medical purposes!
