Physicians should be mindful of the potential for salicylism or even death from topically applied salicylic acid.

Pretreatment with salicylic acid and nitric oxide alleviates silver nanoparticles toxicity in medicinal Hypericum perforatum plants

Since the use of seed priming agents to reduce the potential toxicity of AgNPs has not been explored, we evaluated the combined effects of 0.1 mM salicylic acid (SA) and 0.1 mM nitric oxide (NO) on responses of Hypericum perforatum plants to Ag-induced stress. The results of growth parameters together with measurement of malondialdehyde (MDA) revealed that exposure to AgNPs or AgNO3 caused more...
