ACUTE EFFECTS
MILD CHRONIC SALICYLATE INTOXICATION IS TERMED SALICYLISM. SYMPTOMS
INCLUDE: HEADACHE, DIZZINESS, RINGING IN THE EARS, DIFFICULTY IN
HEARING, DIMNESS OF VISION, MENTAL CONFUSION, LASSITUDE, DROWSINESS,
SWEATING, THIRST, HYPERVENTILATION, NAUSEA, VOMITING, & OCCASIONALLY
DIARRHEA. A MORE SEVERE DEGREE OF SALICYLATE INTOXICATION IS
CHARACTERIZED BY MORE PRONOUNCED CNS DISTURBANCES (INCLUDING
GENERALIZED CONVULSIONS AND COMA), SKIN ERUPTIONS, AND MARKED
ALTERATIONS IN ACID-BASE BALANCE.
CAUSES SKIN IRRITATION.
READILY ABSORBED THROUGH SKIN.
