What is wound botulism?
• Not injecting drugs will prevent you from getting this disease. • If you continue to inject be sure your works and skin are clean. • Don’t use black tar heroin. It is not possible to kill wound botulism by cooking or cleaning the dope. • Don’t share-needles, syringes, filters, cookers, or water. • Always use a new sterile syringe. If you must re-use (even your own), clean it well with bleach. • Get a tetanus shot every five years. Injection drug users can also get tetanus from shooting.
