You can get cotton fever from using anything filtered by cotton or cigarette filters.
I remember injecting tar heroin filters using cotton and experiencing a cotton fever like syndrome. I think i may have actually experienced a mild heart attack as a result. It was pretty horrifying, i thought i might die.
Please use wheel filters when injecting. If you are using cigarette filters you shouldn't be injecting drugs. Of course, you shouldn't be injecting drugs in general, but if you do please use a wheel filter!
