Lately I've been hearing about people "clearing" their syringe by pulling back a small amount of blood after then finish their shot of dope. The person who taught me this actually compared it to having seconds on a GB. I don't know how that is possible but I figured I could find out on Bluelight so I wanted to ask. I did some research and found that that technical term for it was called "Flushing" and that it was actually not a good idea and really bad for you. The way I saw it done was she pulled back the blood into the rig and shot it directly back into her vein but the research I did stated that you're actually supposed to pull back and leave the blood in there for later. I was wondering what the point of this was. Isn't it sorta dangerous since blood sitting in a syringe can contaminate and be a cesspool for blood born pathogens? This was my question and I will much appreciate anyone who answers and give me some explanation on this "technique".

Thank you Bluelight and again much appreciated.
 
Leaving blood in the syringe for later is so horribly dangerous its appalling. What kind of research were you doing? That shit is gonna clot in the syringe shooting clotted blood can lead to all kinds of problems up to death. I have seen people do what you first described its pointless and bad for your viens from what I understand.

EDIT: I have NEVER done the latter part of my first post in this thread so please don't think I have, that's pretty much thinking I'm an idiot, haha.

I was looking at the IV mega thread and I read some things off of Google about it first and then I ask two of my friends who have been shooting dope for a few years and they told me that some people pull back a small amount of blood and keep it in there to get high off of later... have you ever heard of that? The first thing that came to mind when they told me that was "Wow, that sounds really stupid and risky." But as for the first thing what does that even do and how come it's bad for you? I've only done it a couple times but I saw no point in it because It's just straight blood as far as it looks like...
 
+1 to everything crimsonjunk said.

I don't really have anything to add but wanted to underline everything said above... please don't do this, it offers no benefit and plenty of risk.

Oh I totally agree and was like What the Hell when I heard about it..
