    Default Icy Hot kills?

    I just saw a news report that a girl died from using too much muscle creams (like Bengay and Icy Hot). This is such sad news, and disturbing since I use icy hot every night on my knee. I have never heard of something like this before. I found the news story on Yahoo news.

    You can die from drinking too much water. Anything in excess is bad. Except sex. Yes lots of sex is never bad.

    it seems she absorbed a toxic level over a long period of time. i had about it on the radio this afternoon. i believe the mother was completely devastated (the woman i heard was near hysterics).

    they're still doing tests i believe though but the "official word" so far is toxic poisoning from methyl salicylate, the anti-inflammatory in those sport creams.

    so sad.

    That is sad.

    I used to use Icyhot on my feet and ankles, but I switched to Arnica Gel...it works so much better for the pain, and there's no nasty smell to it! I would highly recommend it. You can get it from drugstore.com.

    ^No, I don't think so. Here's the link.

    I can't live w/out this stuff. Lots of other dancers use it as well.

    To be fair, the medical examiner said that this was the first death she had heard of from sports creams. Just don't slather it on like fricken lotion, you'll be fine.

    Icy Hot feels so good. Not so good that I cover my whole body in it, but good. What happened to that girl is really sad...

    Who the hell DOES that? And WHY?! I mean the smell is enough to put me off from putting more than a dime or two on my entire legs... o.O;
