Ten years ago I suffered adult onset of severe asthma, hives and allergy symptoms. I had it for 2 1/2 years before it was diagnosed by an allergist in Portland, Maine with Salicylate Intolerance. I was often in tears and in misery. I took trips to the emergency room to find out why I couldn't breath. My children had to draw hot steamy baths for me so I could soak and catch my breath.
I went through the regular US Medical Gauntlet of allergy tests, OTC Antihistamines and Prescription Medications, X-rays of my sinuses and even Acupuncture and Homeopathic remedies.
Finally I found an allergist in Portland, ME who figured it out. It was Salicylate/Aspirin Intolerance. I had to do a painstakingly difficult elimination diet. I was reactive to even minute quantities of this substance. It is found in most mainstream Americans foods in the form of artificial preservatives (Sodium Benzoate) and food color. At the time I found International Information that said they thought 10% of asthmatics with severe and moderate asthma had this Salicylate Intolerance. Here I found this post in Australia I believe..and it is called Aspirin Intolerance.

This is hidden from American public due to immoral control of of information for profits before ethics...even "cooler" MSNBC is sponsored heavily by Drug Industry Direct to Consumer Advertising.. This needs to stop in the Obama administration.
...and by the way I am 100% fine now. The levels have diminished from my body and I still watch what I eat but I am not so reactive. It took a long time to eliminate them though.
