EMLA numbing creme

Found on the internet

One of my clients came in today with some scary information...
he went to his doctor this week to get some information about EMLA numbing creme.
i know i hate the stuff too...it's terrible.
but here is a new reason to tell people not to use it...
his doctor told him it was designed to be used in small amounts, like an inch by an inch, for removing moles etc.
women started slathering it on their legs for waxing...here's the kicker...
apparently some people have died from putting EMLA on in large areas.
it can stress out your heart.
?so if you cake this stuff on, you could seriously be putting yourself at risk.
most of the studies out there on EMLA are based on small areas of skin. what I'm talking about, is putting it over large areas.
my client's doctor was adamant about how dangerous she thought EMLA was, so i thought I'd pass on the info.
