So my cousin has been doing meth for many years now and he actually quit a couple months ago and hasn't really touched it since. Until 2 or 3 days ago, he picked up some good meth and decided to smoke it instead of snort it like he usually does. 2 or 3 days later his tounge hurts really bad, he says it feels like its deteriorating and it doesn't even feel like its his tounge, like its just a piece of meat in his mouth. He put Peroxide on it and his mouth immediatly started foaming and it came blasting out of his mouth. Is he going to be okay? should he go to the doctor or what? any help would be greatly appriciated, I am deeply concerend. (I don't do meth so I have no clue about any of this)
Use your common sense, if he looks like he needs a doctor, send him to the hospital. They are going to help him.
I thought of the same thing. I highly doubt what he used was Oral Peroxide because of the heavy foaming... Putting Peroxide in ones mouth...wtf man!
That much peroxide reaction indicates his mouth is infected. I know from former and current tweakers that there's a rather nasty type of fungal infection that is carried by some poor grade smoking crystal. If he indeed is infected.. HE NEEDS TO SEE A DOCTOR IMMEDIATELY! This fungus can cause very severe damage to the mouth and gums, and is the leading cause for tooth decay in meth users, despite it's relative rareness. It is fully treatable and cureable however, with medication. Alternatively, he may have just burned his tongue badly. Meth needs to be vaped at relatively high temps so ocassionally people toast their mouth without realizing it. Either way, i'd reccomend at least visiting a clinic. Up to you, but it's usually wise to tell them you tried meth. They won't force you into rehab or anything, but they will try to get you to quit. If you can ignore their pushing (or better yet, actually quit!) then they will fix you right up. Most doctors do care about making you healthy.
Meth tears your shit(mouth, throat, teeth, lungs, all that good stuff) apart......what else needs to be said?
Peroxide is perfectly safe to use in your mouth. The reason peroxide foams up is because the body has an enzyme which undergoes some reaction when the peroxide hits it, so don't be too sure your cousin has an infection. However, it seems you care about him and meth is a one way street...
dude im gana tell you this right now if you dont get him to a doctor soon then hes gana loose his tounge most likely it is infected really really badly and that is most likely the reason for the loss of nerves and the really bad foaming
ONLY if it is ORAL Peroxide though. (I know of people who used full strenght and fucked up their mouth REAL BAD)
Go find a bottle of peroxide and read the label. Any bottle I've ever owned specified that it could be used safely as a mouthwash/gargle..in fact, I just googled "gargle with peroxide" and quite a few websites came up recommending it. This has nothing to do with the original post, it was moreso meant to support SourDiesel650's point.
Me, too! It came back with everything between "Big tit peroxide blonde" and "hydrogen peroxide bleach"
I use peroxide in my mouth all the time and I've never fucked it up. If you swallow it however, you're in for a bad time.
It can cause really fucking bad gas. Trust me, i've done it tons. The kind of gas where you accidentally shit yourself. Don't swallow.
My dad gargles with it all the time, I do sometimes. It's harmless unless your mouth is really fucked up, all it does is kill bacteria. When peroxide foams, it's losing it's oxygen and becoming water. No biggie.
