I also take it orally. 1 table spoon in a glass of water, or, grape juice (10 ml of 70% DMSO ENHANCES the taste of the grape juice while at ~15 ml you will start to feel the taste of DMSO). I take this for preventing further blood clots.
SMELL
If used only topically on the eyes, there's probably not going to produce much smell.
Also, the smell of the DMSO itself is not the issue, instead the smell is produced by the metabolism in the body. But in my case, after 2 weeks of use (as described above), the metabolism seems to have "gotten used to" DMSO and most of the smell is now gone.
SMELL REDUCED BY HONEY(!)
If after some time the smell produced is still less than pleasant, mix the DMSO solution with honey. I've tried adding 1/6 volume of honey to the 70% DMSO for topical use and the same for oral use. After that, no complaints by the other people in the household... ;-)
In my case my skin did not tolerate 50% DMSO, but after the strategies mentioned here, after three weeks I now use 70% flat on.
A good strategy IF there's a initial reaction on the skin from using DMSO, is to keep applying it topically on the arm (with honey) for 2 weeks. The body may well adapt and gradually accept the DMSO. This is also why it's advisable to start with lower concentrations (on skin, start with 50%) and if skin gets irritated, mix with honey, and gradually increase strength.
EYES
I haven't tried on the eyes (although I have some problems for which I might try DMSO) but after making sure there's no allergy, I wouldn't hesitate put it in the eyes. That's my own "next step" even after the initial reactions I've had.
