Bad Reaction to JUST the needle

[jasonalpert]

Hey just had a friend of mine use a needle to shoot dope. She couldn't draw any blood upon entry, so she didn't shoot it. But even afterwards she started complaining of pain in her arm (she couldn't move it), she started sweating, and complaining of nausea. This isn't the first time she's used a needle and I can't figure out why she's having such a bad reaction (like BAD).

Maybe cotton fever? idk...

Any help guys and gals?

Sounds like a stress response (vasovagal response) to the needle.

If she starts getting warm/gets a fever/you get concerned, call 911.
