  • im sorry, what is the point of having two cups of water?

  • @kingblackhart The first time you put the needle/syringe in the water you contaminate it with blood, so if you put the syringe that has been cleaned with bleach back into the contaminated water you could re-infect it.

  • Ouch, puttin bleach anywhere near a track site sounds like it will burn like fuck

  • @LedZeppelinx88 It won't! - you rinse it ALL out, and it's gone. There's no risk from the bleach. There's a BIG risk from hepatitis C virus! Cleaning syringes is a lifesaver.

  • What are the negatives of using the same syringe multiple times? if u clean it every time.

  • @Diedrich92 ...the needle will become blunt if you use it multiple times, and this will cause more tissue and vein damage, so you should always use a new sterile needle if you can.

  • Stop arguing with him, viruses are infact lifeforms. They posess genes and evolve through natural selection, and can be rendered incapable of occupying a cell. Bleach breaks down thier structure regardless.

  • I don't even do drugs...well except cannabis on occasion, but I found this very interesting. I always knew bleach killed everything but never put it together. It would really suck if you wanted to get your life back only to find out you have A.I.D.S. caused by HIV in detox.

  • Thank you for sharing this information @ExchangeSupplies

    This is a step in the correct direction for dealing with addiction as a health concern. Again, thank you.

  • @lilmizmuffett I was wondering the same thing...

  • what's with the scary music omg

  • Very Informative !

  • @kingblackhart cus the germs would contaminate the first cup and if you used it again it would just re contaminate your syringe
