I have had this happen a handful of times now and I cannot nail down what it could be. The issue is when shooting heroin, I register and start to push the plunger and all of a sudden I feel heat traveling down my arm and through my hand. It feels like it’s going along a vein due to the path it takes and it moves very quickly. The heat becomes a terrible itch sensation for a few seconds and then the areas it travelled look like an allergic reaction. Things swell a bit and the skin is raised up in certain spots and gets warm and red. After like 6 or 12 hours this all goes away and everything is fine
I would first say it’s a cut in the drug maybe but I can shoot that same liquid in another spot on my other arm without issue. It has happened in different veins and different arms.
It is always scary and I would love to know what I am doing wrong and how to prevent it if I can. Thanks!
