Aspirin causes bleeding primarily due to its antiplatelet effects, which inhibit the function of platelets in the blood. It irreversibly blocks the enzyme cyclooxygenase-1 (COX-1), leading to decreased production of thromboxane A2, a molecule essential for platelet aggregation. This reduction in platelet aggregation impairs the blood's ability to form clots, increasing the risk of bleeding, particularly in the gastrointestinal tract and during surgical procedures.

People who have anaphylactic reactions, obviously, should not take aspirin. There are some people for whom aspirin causes difficulty breathing and asthma attacks. These people should also not take aspirin. People with bleeding disorders, such as von Willebrand's disease may take aspirin under their doctor's counsel. People with other bleeding disorders, such as hemophilia, probably should not take aspirin. Children should never take aspirin, as aspirin use in children has been linked to Reye syndrome, which is deadly. People with peptic ulcer disease should use aspirin with caution and only under their physician's direction. Likewise, people with history of gastrointestinal (GI) bleeding should use aspirin cautiously, as aspirin may worsen or cause GI bleeding. Pregnant women should not take aspirin, especially late in pregnancy, as it may cause closure of the ductus arteriosus and premature fetal death. I'm sure there are many others, but this is all I can think of right now. I'll add more as I think it over.
