Dear Yusuf, 5 yrs ago I sprayed spider spray in my sons bedroom. The next day I got the worst case of croupy laryngitis with difficulty breathing.This turned into asthma. In addition to this I suffered my whole life with headaches, achy joints, dry bloodshot eyes chronic cough,.dizziness and nausea at times. The asthma was when I hit bottom. I was short of breath for a month. The Drs gave me an antibiotic, prednisone and had me on a nebulizer but nothing helped. I thought I was gonna die. I knew I was allergic to aspirin and that aspirin is a salicylate that comes from the bark of the willow tree. I wondered if any foods contained salicylates so I typed in" Foods containing Salicylates". To my horror I saw hundreds of foods that I was eating everyday. It turns out that all plants produce salicylates as natural insecticides. so it was in all fruit ( except bananas, peeled pears and papaya) in all vegetables( except green beans, peas, lettuce,celery, cabbage and brussel sprouts) it is very high in tomato sauce, broccoli and cucumbers,tea, coffee, vinegar and Olive oil. It is very high in spices like pepprika, oregano, basil, mint, and curry. I can have canola oil and rice vinegar. Anyway I gave up all salicylates and 2 days later all my symptoms got better. You should check out the site www.salicylatesensitivity.com and check out the book, "Salicylate Intolerance and The Healthier I Ate the Sicker I Got" for a complete list of foods to avoid and symptoms. Good luck, Joan
