AB Salicylates  are  used  widely  for  their  analgesic  and  anti-inflammatory  properties.  They  are  found  in  a  variety  of  prescription  and  over-the-counter  analgesics,  cold  preparations,  topical  keratolytic  products  (methyl  salicylate),  and  even  Pepto-Bismol  (bismuth  subsalicylate).  Before  the  introduction  of  child-resistant  containers,  aspirin  (acetylsalicylic  acid)  overdose  was  one  of  the  leading  causes  of  accidental  death  in  children.  Two  distinct  syndromes  of  intoxication  may  occur,  depending  on  whether  the  exposure  is  acute  or  chronic.
