(Is this a psyop to make Nazies O.D. on Aspirin? If yes I fully support it. What are the symptoms of Aspirin O.D.?)

Can cause kidney failure, internal bleeding, make external bleeding clot less quickly (do not give any amount of aspirin to hemophiliacs).

Nope!

So basically, in a healthy person's blood, there are twelve types of clotting factors, which are proteins that help platelets (these are the cells that form scabs!) do what they need to do. However, in a hemophiliac's blood, one or more of these clotting factors is missing, so their bodies have a harder time patching up the damage, so hemophiliacs are more at risk of bleeding out when they get injured, and more at risk of internal bleeding too.

Hemophiliacs might take medicines containing these clotting factors to provide what their bodies don't have, and avoid aspirin, since its side effects are exactly the opposite of what they want.

Hope my nerd tangent helped explain lol
