Bitseach Posted May 16, 2002 Share Posted May 16, 2002 Unlikely to get a blood clot from a headache pill, true, esp when aspirin thins the blood by interfering with the prostaglandin pathway in platelets - may be something like a haemorrhagic stroke.... Many people are allergic to aspirin though and anaphylactic shock is a common cause of death - vastly different symptoms though and easily distinguishable. Frankly, I don't think we'll ever know. Perhaps if there were a freshish post mortem sample of blood where a full tox screen could be done, immunological tests performed, etc then some results would be meaningful, but otherwise.... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~My karma will run over your dogma~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
