Freaking cotton fever

using cotton like that increases the chance of particulate contamination. you are best off first using a rolling tobacco filter followed by a micron to avoid any chance of a strand of cotton being sucked up into your shot/barrel.
 
The only times I ever got cotton fever were when I had pounded out the same cottons desperately like 3 times... so they were all degraded and whatnot. Once I stopped doing that shit, or just using a fresh cotton to filter a pounded solution, I didn't get it again.
 
All I know is if someone told me I was going to die that night, I would have completely believed them. I will never...never reuse cotton again no matter how damn desperate I am. Thanks for all the replies and ideas guys :D
 
I've had it many times as I ALWAYS reuse my filters and save every single one for this purpose, however it's nothing like what is described here for me. I start to feel slightly off and lightheaded, temperature goes up and a few aches in my joints here and there. Overall it's usually just a few steps above being noticeable, passes on its own with sleep or a few hours, and improves if I take Advil. Overall for me it's nothing more than a minor unpleasantness that doesn't really bother much.
 
^Oh, you're not gettin it!....It makes you feel like somebody has to throw one of those rubber bits in your mouth! It aint mild dude, it's a fuckin nightmare! Uncommon though....
 
I believe you, it's sounds absolutely terrible. That said, I still do get some form of it as what I described, and it definitely IS cotton fever despite being mild for me. I did have one time where my temp went up to an unbelievable 105 and I was seconds away from calling 911 and shaking a ton.
 
Yeah, I guess some times were worse than others....Only happened to me 6 times over many years of drug abuse...but the worst one lasted almost 8 hours, from 10 pm until dawn, me and my friend were shake, rattlin and rollin all night!

stupidly, we shot more dope on top of it, but it was unmistakable! Cotton fever, fuck that!
 
Lol it soooo makes you wish you were just dope sick. I guess there are varying degrees but mine sucked ass big time :/
 
I stick to plugging or eating my stuff. I'm not familiar with cotton fever, need to check it out.

Edit: I see. I'm sorry for your suffering. Perhaps the experience can be seen as a sign to switch to a different ROA.
 
This is probably not a good notion, but it is still a question: Would a therapeutic dose of a benzodiazepine be effective for the shakes/tremors??

Bonus question: Would doxycycline be an appropriate anti-biotic?
 
I dont think taking an antibiotic would do anything I believe because they usually take a few days to begin to work. I could easily be wrong on that.

When you have cotton fever you guys are saying that shooting more dope doesn't help at all? That would be my first move is to try and feel better with a shot.
 
Have not had this occur yet, fortunately. Although from what I've read, it would be nearly, if not completely, impossible to shoot again while in the midst of this condition (I shake bad enough before I shoot, so couldnt imagine having pronounced shakes/tremors and attempting to successfully juice again.
 
Hi evrybody. I have been shooting for a couple years and fortunately I have only had cotton fever once, and it wasn't real bad the reason that I think it has never been a problem for me is because I use cigarette filters instead of cotton. I cut off about a 1/4 inch off the end of a unused cigarette. and lay it on it's side in my spoon and pull through it. This really works well and I have never had to try and find cotton or Q-tips because I smoke so I always have cigs with me. If anyone knows of any risk there is doing it this way please feel free to comment.
 
I'm going to start by saying I'm really not proud of this even after having gone through really bad cotton fever about 3-4 times I still always reuse my cotton when I start going into withdrawal.
 
Yeah when my buddy and i first started shooting dope we would save all of our cottons up to do an ABC rinse... turned out to be a B.A.D. idea.
