These are some statistics from Sue Dengate’s “Fed Up with Asthma”:

In the Children’s Hospital study:

70% of asthmatic children reacted to metabisulphite
20% reacted to salicylates in food

In RPAH studies:

50% of people with food related eczema reacted to salicylates
70% of people with food related irritable bowel (as opposed to non-food factors like stress), headache, or ADHD symptoms reacted to salicylates
