"Carcinogenic and Mutagenic Potential
Genotoxicity tests with lignocaine are inconclusive. In genotoxicity studies, a metabolite of lignocaine, 2,6 xylidine, showed evidence of activity in some tests but not in other tests. This metabolite has been shown to have carcinogenic potential (nasal and subcutaneous tumours) in preclinical toxicological studies evaluating chronic exposure. "
I appreciate that it's possible to be too cautious, but I'm inclined to avoid anything with carcinogenic potential if there's an alternative.
