    I’m breaking the vow by talking about it but…

    A few friends and I were all doing drugs late one winter night and staying hydrated as responsible drug users sometimes do.

    The cold had us all sniffly and hacking.

    We spat into an empty water bottle.

    Sweet Hank was at the computer picking the next jam and reached for what he thought was his water, took a swig, returned the swig, and said, “We’re just not gonna talk about that.”

    Hank went to the bathroom, returned, and we continued, honoring Sweet Hank’s request.

    I couldn’t tell you what went through his mind when the viscous liquid hit but he carried on like a champion.

    I drank cobra whiskey I got a bottle of in Cambodia, only to find out it was a ton of formaldehyde and instantly, involuntarily, violently puked it all up everywhere

    My brother used to do chewing tobacco. He would spit into pop bottles. He left one laying around in the kitchen. I tried to steal a sip of what I thought was A&W root-beer. It was the same colour.

    What came next was the most disgusting thing I’ve ever experienced. Imagine drinking someone’s thick cold saliva mucus that had a disgusting apple cinnamon and smokey tar taste.

    I ran to the sink as fast as I could and spat it out and forced myself to throw up.

      I dipped for 10 years, I would also drink while dipping. One time I went to take a sip of a beer and it was my buddy’s spit beer bottle, I just spit the spit back out no issues and found my beer.

      The moral of the story is to always have a spit bottle that is different from your drinking bottles. (I also quit 6 years ago)

    BTW, human tissue might not be targeted by a bacteriophage virus, but our gut is filled with beneficial bacteria. This is why people get the runs from antibiotica and why there’s shit transplants.

    Most viruses are probably not surviving the acid bath that is our stomach, though.

      Just read an article that was basically saying we should consider all gut flora frenemies now. If you don’t eat enough fiber even the “good” kinds that help your body process it will go for your mucus lining, breach the cell barrier and enter the bloodstream. This causes inflammation and may also accelerate aging. Neat.

      TLDR; eat fiber and don’t get old.

        Or don’t eat fiber and don’t get old as well.

              I can’t burp but I hate imagining that.

              He also mentioned they capped up the initial poop at the doctor, but then they just gave him a couple vials of shit to put in his freezer at home and cap it all himself after that. He has to eat like eight pills at a time.

              I’d just get the injections.

    What do they mean trigger warning: unsanitary

    Clearly it was very pure virus concentrate, after removing all the dead cell pieces. That sounds sanitary as fuck.
