An article reports on the recently revealed link between taking paracetamol/acetaminophen in late pregnancy and/or early childhood and an increased risk of developing asthma. Also gives several interesting links, including one to to an article on safe, natural painkillers.

Hi Franky - I just noticed your post about paracetomol and asthma in pregnancy. Someone else had just alerted me to the dangers of taking paracetomol as an adolescent. They quoted something like a 40% increased risk of getting asthma if you took paracetomol regularly and almost the same for getting eczema. That is really scary.....
