Hello All,
The sudden death of a Staten Island high school track star was caused by the accidental overuse of over-the-counter remedies routinely used by millions of Americans to treat sore muscles and joints, the city medical examiner ruled after a two-month probe.
Arielle Newman, 17, a cross-country runner, died April 3 after her body absorbed lethal levels of methyl salicylate, a wintergreen-scented ingredient found in sore muscle treatment products like Bengay, Icy Hot and Tiger Balm.
