Contaminated drugs do not look different from non-contaminated drugs. You cannot see the germ that causes botulism.Drug-use equipment (“works”) used to prepare or inject contaminated drugs might also spread the botulism germs to anyone who uses it. Because the germ lives in soil, it might get into heroin when the drug is produced or transported, when it is cut or mixed with other substances, when it is prepared for use, or through some other way. We don’t know how black tar heroin gets contaminated with the germ that causes botulism.
IMUSCLE 2 VS REDDIT SKIN
Most get it from skin popping or muscle popping black tar heroin. How injecting heroin can give you botulismĮvery year in the United States, about 20 people are diagnosed with wound botulism. Your doctor needs to know if you use injection drugs, so you can be diagnosed and treated quickly and correctly. It can be easy to mistake wound botulism for other, more common illnesses. Tell them about any drugs you have used in the past two weeks and how you used them. When you seek medical care, be direct and honest with your medical providers. If you or someone you know gets treatment with Naloxone, but still has symptoms of botulism, see a doctor or go to the emergency room immediately. Naloxone, also known as Narcan®, can reverse the effects of an opioid overdose if given in time, but it will not reverse the symptoms of botulism. Opioids are painkilling drugs, such as oxycodone (“Ox圜ontin”), oxymorphone (“Opana”), hydrocodone (as in Vicodin), and hydromorphone (“Dilaudid”), as well as heroin. Some symptoms of wound botulism can look like symptoms of opioid overdose, such as slurred speech or inability to talk, weakness, and trouble breathing. It is important to get medical care as quickly as possible, because the antitoxin and other treatments work better the earlier they are given. If you do not, your symptoms may continue to get worse and can even be life-threatening. If you or someone you know has symptoms of botulism, see a doctor or go to the emergency room immediately.
