What are the dangers of boofing?
Boofing isn’t without its own dangers, in addition to the usual dangers of substance use.
First, boofing can irritate or damage the lining of the anus, leading to pain, bleeding, and infections. This is especially true if you don’t dissolve the substance in water and instead use the “dabbing” or “stuffing” methods.
While some people might boof drugs to avoid intravenous drug use’s risk of HIV and other infections, boofing itself can be a mode of transmission. Boofing can cause tears in the anus, which can be an entry point for viruses such as HIV, hepatitis C and A, and STIs such as chlamydia. [9]Sharing boofing equipment, such as needless syringes, can increase the risk of transmitting these infections.
Additionally, because boofing, like intravenous injection, delivers a strong, immediate hit, overdosing is more likely. While snorting or smoking a drug delivers a smaller amount into your system each time, helping you gauge your reaction and dose, boofing can introduce a large, unpredictable dose all at once, which can overwhelm the body.
This is especially true when boofing alcohol. When alcohol is introduced into the anus, it is absorbed directly into the bloodstream. This not only produces more rapid intoxication but also bypasses the metabolism of the alcohol that occurs in the stomach and liver. Alcohol introduced directly through the bloodstream will eventually arrive at the liver for metabolism and excretion but at such high levels. it could overwhelm the organ.
Additionally, when you insert alcohol into the anus rather than drinking it, the body doesn’t have access to the relief valve of vomiting to expel the excess. These combined factors make dangerous, unpredictable levels of intoxication and alcohol poisoning more likely.[12]
