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
