I know this isn't a good idea but I'm sure just about every junkie has done at one time or another, except my one friend has carpeting. ANyway, you know the scenario. Youre about to go in WD but you breathe a sigh of relief because you have just enough dope left to last you until tomoorw when you can score more. Then to your horror, the spoon tips and your precious solution winds up on the floor. You think "5 second rule" quickly grab a cotton, suck it up and place it in your arm and pretend like it never happened. But it has happened, in fact over the years its happened to me so many times ive lost count. Im wondering if there any risks to this practice that I Should be aware of.
 
Sepsis is a possibility, along with complications from whatever may have dissolved into the solution. I always just cook another shot.
 
You're exposing yourself to the same risk as say, using dirty water to shoot up or if you've ever saved your filters for a while then used them to try and get a shot out of, like that. Basically you've just added a load of bacteria into your shot, so maybe be a bit more careful with your spoons if it keeps on happening.
