Apparently the cause of Reye's Syndrome is not known or understood. BUT there has been an associative link found between the occurrence of the disease and the use of aspirin. That link is strong enough to indicate that children under the age of 19 years should not take aspirin or use oral or topical products that contain salicylates.
