Quoted from link:
remember if it starts burning sensation when your injecting your missing the vein, stop or you will have a huge bruise if not worse.

Re: Injecting Methamphetamine
swim just thought of something. an old-school doper taught this to swim and it's making her jones just thinkin' about it. but ... sometimes if the shit is really good, the effects hit swiy before swiy can even get the point out of swiy arm. and swiy ends up missing just a little. if siwy has a cigarette handy, roll out a little of the tobacco and put a small amount (about the size of a penny) on the injection site. then add a couple drops of water (that should still be right there in front of you) to it. set a cotton ball on top of the wet tobacco, and lightly press down. amazingly this will suck out the missed dope and leave no redness or bruise. not sure how this works, but it does.

Get her to the hospital straight away! There is a high chance that this is cellulitis, which can lead to blood poisoning which can kill!

geez ... yes get her to the e.r. right away. cellulitis/abcess ... this happened to swim, and they had to cut it open, drain it, and pack it with gauze for about 6 weeks, along w/ some serious antibiotics. horrible, horrible, but swim is alive and didn't get blood poisoning or infection. good luck, and maybe this will wake her up a little, but probably not. god bless....
