I am waiting for the moment where those people realize that a lot of food contains salicylates, acetylsalicylic acid (Aspirin) among them. Just by habit of nature.

I lived with a person that had an intolerance (sometimes called "asprine intolerance") and it is basically impossible to keep your diet free from that.[1]

Penicillin allergy is different. It's not just "oh I feel a bit unwell for a few days", it's fatal. And penicillin is not a common substance.

Not questioning that, but it questions the idea of not taking any medications at all. Where do you make the cut?

I don't understand the question. I am allergic to penicillin. I just tell the doctor when they are perscribing antibiotics. I can still take medication.

Some substances, due to their large adverse reactions in some, can and are restricted.
