Hi guys, something just came up with SWIM and is totally freaking out about it, SWIM has been banging the icky tar for some time now but recently a problem has come about that SWIM has never experienced. Just wondering if anyone else has experienced this, or if you have any diagnosis to what it could be? For about a week now, SWIM has developed little red rashes in various spots on the body, such areas are arm pits, in between legs/crotch area, hips, and a little on the buttocks. These spots are extremely itchy, and red, sometimes the area feels a bit numb. SWIM was wondering could it be a substance that the drug is cut with? Or maybe some kind of infection? Swim appreciates any help/comments that you guys have to offer!
 
Pitzul, first thing-sorry about your it rash issue. A diagnosis and proper medical supervision would be best found going to your doctor or the hospital. This could be anything that you may need medicine for. I don't know myself, if this is caused by your tar use. I do hope you feel better soon, and see a doctor for your healths sake. Sorry I can't help you more.

Secondly, somebody else for sure will answer you soon telling you to take the SWIMS out of your thread. Just be yourself on bluelight. Swim, and other crazy words and terms that you replace yourself with aren't necessary. It's just a Bluelight rule.-- My main theme though is that I still hope you get better. See a Doc!

As stated. Swimming is not allowed on BL.

The pools closed.

It could be that your tar is cut with a large amount of morphine which releases a lot more histamine than heroin when injected. Especially if you push the shot down too fast with morphine you are likely to experience what you've just described.

That said. If you are having concerns about your health after an injection, asking on an internet forum isn't going to help. We aren't a diagnostic service, and we cant with any degree of confidence assess your situation. You need to seek medical help.

Please consult with your doctor if you have any concerns at all about your medical health post-IV use. It could save your life. We can't.
 
I'm inclined to agree with Tripman's guess, but it also sounds a lot like scabies at the same time. The best advice any of us can give is that you should seek medical attention as there is no way anyone here can tell you for sure what it is.
