I know that drugs will make a person do some crazy things especially when your dope sick. One time i just got my dope and only had enough money for one bag. I forgot to bring a water bottle from home with me (when I get my shit I can't wait to get home to do it, I have to hit up right after) so I spit in a bottle cap I had in my car and used the spit to shoot dope. Well...a few days later I was in the ER with 105 fever and massive chest pains. It turned up I gave myself ENDOCARDITIS by using my spit only ONE TIME!! I ended up in the hospital for 2 MONTHS!!! I just got out a week and a half ago. SO PLEASE PEOPLE...THIS IS A WARNING...IF YOU GET DESPERATE DO NOT USE YOUR SPIT!! If you don't know what endocarditis is, it's basically an infection in your heart that can easily lead to death and many other painful infections. I ended up with FOUR ABCESS'S on my lungs and a whole bunch of other shit was wrong which came from the endocarditis. My doctor was dead serious when he told me if I didn't come in when I did, with in 2 days I wouldv'e been dead. He was also dead serious when he told me I was better off using my piss instead of saliva. So please guys, take it from me, DON'T EVER USE SPIT TO SHOOT UP.

Damn, you'd think it'd be common sense not to do such a thing since saliva is known to have lots of bacteria in it, but I will leave this open for the sake of harm reduction. Some people might think saliva = salt + water and not think twice about it as you may have thought at the time.

Yeah! Use your piss instead!

Really though, this is a fucked up story. I heard stories about people using saliva, but I didnt really know if I believed them or not.

Good to hear youre ok. Hopefully you learned your lesson: always save a dollar for water.....I mean, uh, be sterile when injecting.
 
there you go, OD. right from the horse's mouth. please do not use your own spit to shoot up, bar how desperate you may be. I know the feeling of needing to hit right after you score, but just wait a minute and drive up to some drive-thru fast food restaurant and get a water real quick. or if it is snowing outside go grab a handful of snow and melt it real quick. or go into a business and kindly use their restroom. I have heard of people using stuff like Gatorade to dilute, but not someone's own salivia.
 
Wow. How were they able to pinpoint that the endocarditis was caused by that specific shot? I'm guessing they did a culture and the bacteria they found is in saliva?

Like Axl said... I would have just gone to a public bathroom. I've used tap water to shoot up in them plenty of times with no problems.



Oh, I've also heard of people doing blood shots. Basically they load the dope in an empty syringe, spike a vein, take out 20-30units of blood, shake syringe to dissolve the drug, and re-inject. You gotta do it quick to avoid clotting.
 
That is one of the dumbest things I have ever heard. Why didn't you try to piss into the syringe and then shoot piss and heroin. You deserve a Darwin award for the one buddy. You are lucky to even be alive after doing something that retarded.

How helpful.

It ain't my poison; don't think it ever will be. But, chasing that jones is a bitch, if I were so inclined, I could tell some stories almost as bad.

I wasn't trying to offend the OP, but why couldn't he just use common sense and go and buy a bottle of water or go to a store and get some water out of a fucking water fountain. It was just hilarious to me that someone would actually think that shooting saliva would be a halfway decent idea.
 
The bacteria was strepto..something...which caused the endocarditis. And the only place that bacteria grows is in your mouth.

Yeah Wiggi...it was a stupid thing and I learned my lesson the real hard way. When your sick you don't think right.
 
Yeah, well, no sense getting all huffy. Sorry.

I just figured the guy feels just as stupid as I do about my missing teeth, fed to the crank gods.
 
Yep, you shot loads of bacteria into your veins.

Your veins carried the nice bacteria to your lungs where it found a beautiful place to clog and multiply. It travelled from your lungs to your heart where it layed its base around your heart valves, multiplying and thriving.

It's ok, we all have to die some day. People with tongue rings and tongue piercings get endocarditis also, the bacteria easily travel to the heart and lungs... So don't worry too much, you will recover and the antibiotics probably cleared up other conditions you may have had...
 
i've never shot dope, but exactly how much spit was required? enough to fill a syringe? geez, how many times did you have to spit?

edit: oh. and did you have to go through withdrawals while you were in the hospital?

Common sense and addiction don't exactly go hand in hand...
 
I remember reading one of "blahblahblah's" old post's where he filled his rig using raindrops from the windscreen of his car 8o that shocked me, but this has floored me.

Haven't you ever heard the saying that there are more germs in your mouth than your bunghole? :p
 
I'm really glad you had the guts to post your experience. I think there are lots of us who understand how desperate you can be to get a shot in that sometimes you just don't think everything through. A story like this is much more helpful than someone who hasn't had your experience trying to explain how many different types of bugs are growing in the average person's saliva. I'm glad you got in to see a doc quick, you're very lucky to have made it through this!

There's no reason to pick on this guy for what he did. Everyone knows it's not a good idea to use your own saliva. This is a perfect example of how desperate you can feel at times and what can happen if you don't maintain as much sterility as you can at all times. It only takes one mistake, and it can have fatal consequences. If you've never been to this point, where you're desperate to get a shot in, just learn from it and know where you can go. Making fun of the decision is pointless, if you haven't been there just be happy about that!

Unfortunately, I've done the same thing before. I've also used melted snow, and some kind of flavored water. But even in my most desperate times, I never would have used my own spit, because fortunately there are SOME risks I wasn't willing to take.
