Default Death by Bengay

http://seattlepi.nwsource.com/health...eam_Death.html

NEW YORK -- A medical examiner blamed a 17-year-old track star's death on the use of too much anti-inflammatory muscle cream, the kind used to soothe aching legs after exercise.

Arielle Newman, a cross-country runner at Notre Dame Academy on Staten Island, died after her body absorbed high levels of methyl salicylate, an anti-inflammatory found in sports creams such as Bengay and Icy Hot, the New York City medical examiner said Friday.

If a little is good a lot must be fantastic...but fatal. No more pain anyway.

I bet she caked herself in it, then went to bed with a pad over the spots.

Not to knock on her, but she must have smelled awful all the time.

That's messsed up. One time when I lived on campus during college, I went around to all of the toilets on my floor and smeared Bengay all over the seats. In hindsight, I hope I didn't end up killing anybody. :hsugh:
