couple of times I keep forgeting.
Well I came across this article today.

I must remember to try it.


I don't think aspirin is really soluble, though:
that's why they now label it "dispersible" instead. I
see from the article that she used dimethyl
sulfoxide, which I'd never heard of, as a solvent:
it's much harder to get stuff here than in the US,
but somebody will know if it's OK and obtainable...


Sold as DSMO, got some hits on fleabay. Expensive
stuff, unless the dilution rates are high??

I should think that you could disolve the asprin in a small amount of
DSMO then dilute that down to the required strength.
