Thanks for sharing. That's pretty wild! I know essential oils transdermally (including in the nostrils) (some must be diluted first!) can definitely affect one, so why not AA?
(I wonder if DMSO then AA would be even stronger? Never mind. I'm a mad scientist. I need an evil twin to experiment on.)
It sounds like it is giving you prompt flush though which is so weird because it's not really much if any of the substance in your bowel. So why is THAT happening? Fascinating! Are you doing anything else that could be causing that?
