Heroin accidental iv injection of nail polish remover along with heroin?!

On her way to work? No..but correct, I looked everywhere and couldn't find them forthe life of me..

Sorry for the potentially dangerous advice, I just put myself in her shoes and imagined the sheer world-ending frustration and desperation. I'll try to keep harm reduction in mind from now on in BL.

OP, knowing that it is non-acetone polish remover, shit just got lethal. Monitor her as much as possible to keep her from further injecting the tainted rigs. Try pouring them onto a surface and seeing if it evaporates--takes a long time, but you might be able to scrape and inhale the residue. Still potentially harmful, but not as much as injecting industrial chemicals, regardless of her efforts to dilute the solution (that might lower the effects on the skin in the injection site, but the same amount of chemicals go into her bloodstream).

Its ok, I apologize if it came across as harsh..

Non-acetone nail polish remover is not "super toxic". Ethyl/butyl acetate, MEK, isopropanol and so on are all fairly innocuous if consumed in small quantities.

The major worry is vein irritation. It's not good to inject that kind of shit.

Tell her to throw it out.

Ok so here's the final result (thusfar anyway...) she ended up diluting her mixture - originally she had mixed about 40 cc'sof polish remover with the dope and ended up adding enough water to turn that 40 into about 100 & she reheated it (I don't think that would have any effect but her theory was that it may possibly burn off some of the chemicals...?) & did 3 shots total over the span of 24 hours. And aside from a slight burning at the injection site, a minor headache, and equally minor nausea, she appears to be alright...but I'm still extremely concerned about the potential repercussions that could still come as a result. Does anyone have an educated guess as to what I should maybe look out for as far as symptoms of long-term damage or even short-term...? II'm still anticipating having to rush her to the hospital due to her just collapsing out of nowhere or something...
Oh and sidenote - I noticed a few responses regarding the plastic becoming gummy from the chemicals, and I saw the last rig, which had had the mixture in it the longest (unfortunately I didn't get to it til the second before she pushed it in her arm) and the plastic was completely unchanged...is this potentially a good sign that there maybe wasn't enough chemicals in it to seriously fuck her up...? (I know it's unlikely, but anything that makes it at all potentially not as bad as it could/should be, I'm trying to cling to....)

Expect no long term damage.
