A member asked:
Can 1 tube of bengay with 30 percent of methyl salicilate when overused be toxic?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Ben Gay: If used as directed on the labeling, no. It can be very toxic if used on or in an area other than where indicated in the product labeling. Follow the directions and you should be fine.
