AB  - Salicylates  have  been  used  since  the  19th  century.1  Today,  salicylates  are  used  therapeutically  throughout  the  world.  The  most  commonly  encountered  salicylate  is  acetylsalicylic  acid  (aspirin).  Other  medications  include  the  liniment  methyl  salicylate  (oil  of  wintergreen)  and  bismuth  subsalicylate,  the  active  ingredient  in  Pepto-Bismol.  Because  salicylates  are  ubiquitous,  there  is  great  potential  for  toxicity,  intentional  or  accidental.  In  2008,  there  were  over  19,000  aspirin-alone  exposures  reported  and  about  2,000  aspirin  coingestions  reported  to  the  National  Poison  Data  System.2
