The World Cup has brought renewed attention to the mysterious aerosol that appears to heal all.
Ghana's defender Alidu Seidu receives medical attention during the Qatar 2022 World Cup match between Ghana and Uruguay on Dec. 2.Viewers of the World Cup are likely familiar with the “magic spray” that sometimes gets whipped out after a player tumbles to the ground, writhing in pain from a mid-game injury.
What’s in the bottle varies from brand to brand, but the sprays usually contain ethyl chloride, a prescription medication used as a topical antiseptic and cooling substance, or methyl salicylate, a counter-irritant that can cause a cold-and-hot feeling and is commonly found in over-the-counter rubs like Bengay.
For some players, the spray may also have a placebo effect. And by the time it wears off, the adrenaline of being back in the game might further mask some of the discomfort. “Some guys actually don’t need it and don’t ever ask for the cold spray, but some guys have gotten accustomed to using it and know it helps them,” said Sam Cervantes, the athletic trainer for men’s soccer at the University of Pittsburgh. “It’s not something that I’m going to jump to, but if somebody asked for it, I’ll certainly provide it for them.”
