Methyl salicylate (oil of wintergreen) in the form of candy flavoring was ingested by a 21-month-old male infant who subsequently developed vomiting, lethargy, and hyperpnea. A "swallow" of the solution resulted in a serum salicylate concentration of 81 mg/dL six hours after ingestion. The infant was treated with parenteral fluids and sodium bicarbonate and he recovered rapidly. Hazards associated with salicylate use in this form include lack of parental awareness of the substance's toxic potential, the attractiveness of the candy-like odor, and the availability of the liquid in non-child-resistant packaging containing potentially lethal quantities.
一名21个月大的男婴摄入了呈糖果调味剂形式的水杨酸甲酯（冬青油），随后出现呕吐、嗜睡和呼吸急促症状。摄入该溶液“一口”后，6小时时血清水杨酸浓度达81mg/dL。该婴儿接受了静脉补液和碳酸氢钠治疗，迅速康复。以这种形式使用水杨酸酯相关的风险包括家长对该物质潜在毒性缺乏认知、糖果般气味的吸引力以及该液体以非儿童安全包装形式存在，其中含有可能致命的剂量。
