Avoid dirty needles

Drug use harms your liver. Beyond liver damage, this way of living has a number of harmful side effects. One of the poor decisions made as a result of drug addiction is the use of contaminated needles, which increases the risk of liver disease.

You should follow up with a medical practitioner and seek testing following any type of skin penetration involving sharp instruments or needles. If you or someone else has put a dirty needle or sharp object into your skin, get a test right away. Although it happens rarely, there have been cases where hospitals unintentionally used dirty needles. Of course, this caution also applies to needle-based treatments like tattoos and body piercings. Never exchange personal care products like razors or nail clippers. The best person to defend your health is you.
