Salicylate Sensitivity

Each of the following symptoms and conditions has been found, in some individuals, to be caused by Salicylate intolerance. Please do not assume that just because your symptom or condition is listed that you are Salicylate sensitive. As I continuously say on this site - consult your doctor.
