As an aside, fairly recently, didn't a girl pass away due to overdose of lidocaine because she used skin creams often ? In other words (read the label), this lidocaine positive was the result of applying lidocaine directly to the horse.

You said the lidocaine was in the aloe gel.

Here's just one link to a lidocaine overdose from topical cream.
