Chronic nasal adminstration may cause Nasal septum perforation  Short-term side effects of insufflation includes nasal congestion, which may last for 24 hours. Frequent insufflation of some substances can damage one's mucous membranes, induce bleeding, damage the nostril's cartilage and lining, burn the throat, and cause other trauma to the nasal passage and sinus area.[1] To reduce damage, it is recommended to grind the substance completely before use and alternate nostrils.[2] Additionally, a default saline nasal spray application helps wash out acidic/caustic substances from the affected area. Also, sharing snorting equipment (straws, banknotes, bullets, etc) has been linked to the transmission of hepatitis C. (Bonkovsky and Mehta) In one study, the University of Tennessee Medical Center researches warned that other blood-borne diseases such as HIV, the AIDS-causing virus, could be transmitted as well.[3] |
