Heroin missed part of a speedball/ strange reaction

[maximumstrength2]

ok so I just shot a speed ball in my hand and missed a little, now my whole index finger is swollen. I've had histamine reactions from dope but never anything like this. any guesses?

Depending on where you miss in your hand, and how much is missed, swelling like that happens.

Treat it like any other missed shot. Hot compress for 15-20 minutes and then an icepack. The swelling should subside a lot within 24 hours. Keep an eye on it and make sure it doesn't get worse.

It doesn't matter. The missed liquid got into the surrounding tissue there and depending on where it ends up, and how bad the miss is, different parts will swell.

its takes a while because of the capillaries in hands.. it takes more time for fluid to subside. like dude said day or so u be alright. make sure to squeeze it ever so often and make sure u see it start turning red. ( circulation )

Take some Benadryl man it will help with the swelling. Take like 75-100 if its pretty bad, don't take 100mg if its only minor

I just wanted to say thanks to both of the above posters for giving valuable HR advice.

OP: If your finger doesn't get any better, please go to the doctor. No drug is worth your life or your finger.
