Gloves With DMSO

I have some spots on my back that require the application of DMSO/CDS. I can't reach it, and my wife is highly allergic to DMSO. Do they make GLOVES that DMSO doesn't break down and carry it into your body while also keeping her safe?

I heard there are special gloves that are safe to apply DMSO. Does anyone have a link? It would be much appreciated.

From Google:

Glove selection is important when working with DMSO. Butyl rubber, fluoroelastomer, neoprene, or thick (15 mil) 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.

I definitely feel you gotta keep your wife safe. gloves or not ... if she is highly allergic, you gotta spare her the application .
find someone close to you to do it for you other than her. maybe your brother or mother or someone .

HDPE gloves should be okay.
DMSO gel is usually packaged in HDPE containers.

LDPE is also ok for use with DMSO. Read that in the book Healing With DMSO.
