👉 Salicylism is a medical condition that refers to the body's response to an irritant or allergen, such as a cold, flu, or insect bite. It occurs when the immune system mistakenly activates and attacks healthy cells in the body, leading to inflammation and damage. Salicylic acid, which is found in many foods and beverages, is commonly implicated in salicylism due to its ability to promote inflammation and increase blood sugar levels.
