Salicylate intolerance - symptoms and how to test
Tolerating salicylates might be challenging for certain people because of the similarity in chemical structure between salicylic acid and other organic and inorganic acids. Symptoms of salicylate intolerance are brought on by a buildup of leukotrienes in the body. The prevalence of salicylate intolerance is unclear. However, it is more prevalent in individuals with asthma ( 4 ). It is believed that between 2 and 22% of adult asthma sufferers are susceptible to these substances. There are no diagnostic tests available in laboratories at this time. However, it may be possible to rule out an allergy with the help of a few tests. Exposure or provocation, which involves providing a tiny quantity of salicylic acid and monitoring for symptoms, is the standard test for salicylate sensitivity to medicines.
