DRUGS Infection Risks
Legal drugs have to be prepared in
accordance with strict laws governing
quality control. This does not apply to
illegal drugs which are usually heavily
contaminated.
Injecting drugs carries very serious
risks of infection. Blood poisoning,
abcesses and liver disease are common
in intravenous drug users.
The sharing of needles and syringes
will allow the transmission of viruses
responsible for hepatitis B and AIDS.
There is no effective cure for these
conditions. For information on AIDS,
key 2, for hepatitis B key 3.
