"...In reality, aspirin is acidic, and could cause acid burns from too long contact. Some folks have discovered this in treating toothaches with contact aspirin. Their temporary treatment caused permanent damage..."
White willow bark tea was (is) used before aspirin was invented, and it has no side effects. Too much aspirin will cause internal bleeding as well as tinnitus, and in some cases, temporary deafness, even though it is a good anti-inflammatory and antipyretic. (SP?)

Toothpicks should be made from Willow!
Antipyretic is the correct spelling, fever-reducer.
Aspirin is a miracle drug, but if you wanted to bring it to market today, FDA would never approve.
