When a drug is snorted, it comes into contact with the lining of the nasal cavity. This can cause the blood vessels in your nose to dilate (widen) and break, allowing tiny, even microscopic, amounts of blood to leak out onto the snorting device.
For this reason, sharing snorting devices can put you into contact with tiny amounts of other people’s blood. If this blood is infected with Hepatitis C or other diseases, there is a risk of transmission. Always use your own snorting device to prevent transmitting blood-borne disease.
If you don’t have a personal snorting device, use something that can be disposed of immediately. A pack of Post-it notes can serve as a large supply of disposable, rollable straws. Don’t use money! Bills may have passed through many hands – and many noses – before coming to the current user.
- Before first use, unscrew and thoroughly rinse the tube with warm water and mild dish soap. Rinse again and let dry.
- When cleaning the outside of the tube, do not use abrasive sponges, scour pads, steel wool, or anything that may degrade the finish of your Crisp Tube.
- Do not use any tools to clean out the inside. This may degrade the inner surface.
- Always check your Crisp Tube for residue, dust, or other debris before use.
- Do not stick the threaded end of the Crisp Tube into your nose – the threads can be sharp.
- If your Crisp Tube becomes dirty, rinse with warm water and mild dish soap. Rinse again and let dry. If you want to deep clean your tube, you can soak it in isopropyl alcohol and then re-wash it with warm water.
- DO NOT SHARE! This is your personal device. Sharing it defeats the purpose of having one.
