Coke---->Nasal irritation

[Addy]

After using coke throughout the day. After it wares off my nose gets extremely irritated and runny and then stuffed. Also my eyes start to water. Its nearly identical to severe seasonal allergies.
Have any of you experienced this and is it normal. Also is there anything that will help or prevent this.

Yes it's normal, shittier the coke, worse the irriation. Get some saline nasal spray, works wonders.

I can get saline nasal spray at the pharmacy? What are the brand names?
Actually this coke is pretty damn good. I get numb, speedy and it lasts longer than usual.
Would Flonase help?

It's just a nasal decongestant. No prescription, walk into walmart and find it.

Ya that seems to happen a lot when your in the coke game. Just go to your local target or wal-mart & buy some Afrin no drip nasal mist. The shit works wounders...

Why is it that coke seems to cause this problem more than other drugs you put in your nose? (This is a serious question, not a facetiously framed statement.)

It has to do with whatever the coke is cut with. Some greedy dealers cut the stuff asmuch as they possibly can, other times thats what gets passed on and its all thats available. People will pay a lot of $$ for coke, more money could be made on crystal but due to inavailabity and the popuarity of coke, its something that can be easily sold cause so many people want it.
Coke's cut with a lot of things, from baby power to novacaine and all kinds of nasty things. Personally I did shitty coke once, and I'm still getting sticky, pastey, white stuff coming out of my nose (i did it like 6 weeks ago).

Yep, it had to do with the cuts in coke, as well as the fact that coke is far more cut than any other powder out there...

Researchers have shown that cocaine supresses immune function in mice by decreasing phagocytosis, antibody function, and natural killer-cell and cytotoxic T-cell activity. These decreases result in a lowering of resistance to various viruses. Same may apply to humans. Cocaine also impairs the body's defence mechanisms against infection by slowing nasal mucociliary transport rates. The nasal mucociliary system moves foreign particles trapped in the mucus of the nose the nasopharynx, where they can be either swallowed or expectorated.
