As an impressionable young boy, I read with great relish a most lurid anti-drug comic book detailing the suffering and morbid decline of a fictional heroin addict, who started with "snorting," proceeded to "skin popping," and ended up "mainlining," the last of which, of course, is more-or-less the method of IV CS use mentioned by some persons on this list. IAW, whether one uses a syringe of an IV drip, the CS goes directly into the bloodstream.
I have never heard of "skin popping" anywhere since that time, but this is obviously a preliminary method of using heroin that avoids the dangers of direct injection. Addicts needing the "rush" of mainlining give up this method. Thinking about the postings on this list, I can not help but wonder whether someone seriously needing sustained quantities of CS for some life threatening disorder might not make good use of "skin popping." For a non-medical professional, it might be the safest way of getting CS directly into the bloodstream. This is sheer speculation and perhaps a bit kooky, but in some circumstances, this idea might be worth exploring. I am not a clinician or professional scientist; perhaps someone who is can enlighten us about subcutaneous injections . . . . -- The silver-list is a moderated forum for discussion of colloidal silver.
