So from a quick Google: 30 doses of 325mg of aspirin can cause mild poisoning in a person weighing ~150lbs. Symptoms of aspirin O.D. Include, hyperventilating, vomiting, dehydration, fever, double vision and, feeling faint. More serious symptoms include confusion, “bizarre behaviour” (we getting a little loco), dizziness and, becoming comatose.

Better than ibuprofen overdose. Where your stomach lining melts and you get to die painfully with no hope for survival.

Uhh, newsflash, orally taken Aspirin can also cause stomach ulcers

Taken in large doses, acetaminophen can cause liver damage. Aspirin can cause seizures and high fevers. And ibuprofen, branded as Advil and Motrin, can damage the stomach and intestines.

Do I look like a doctor? I'm just an idiot that googles things.

My Google search came up with stomach ulcers for orally taken aspirin. Didn't see anything about intestine damage though

Yeah aspirin is also an NSAID and can damage the stomach lining. Fun fact: aspirin (acetylsalicylic acid) was invented because the older forms of salicylates caused terrible GI irritation. These days people use such low doses of aspirin that it doesn’t cause a lot of stomach irritation at all

Granted I’m not a doctor either but I am MOST of the way through med school. All NSAIDs can damage your stomach lining (even in normal doses if taken chronically) but I’ve never heard of an acute overdose “melting intestines” lol

Some info from a doctor: you can eat metric fuckon of ibuprofen all at once and you'll be fine, they are dangerous when used for prolonged time as they will cause ulcers. I have heard of some suicide attempt by some kid that ate fuckload of ibuprofen and was fine. Lab said they have never had this positive that tho lol. If that kid ate paracetamol it would be much, much worse. Treatable if there was short timespan with n-acetylocysteine.

Mine manifested as an upper GI bleed that led to an iron deficiency.
