Should he be banned from sports because some quack parent has rubbed Icy Hot all over his/her son’s elbow/knee/shoulder during a practice and then the IcyHot/aspirin has made its way into every baseball glove on the team because it doesn’t just medicate little Johnny?

Banned from play?

No.

He should however play in a situation that is safe considering his circumstances.

Start a league for allergic children, if you wish, but don’t expect everyone else to change because of his condition.

WRONG. Medication should be taken by individuals and not distributed to others. Therefore, medication such as ICY HOT should not be administered or worn when the wearer will be in public. Why should my son take someone else’s medication? Why should my son pay for someone else’s pain? It’s medicine. Not food.
