How To Detoxify The Body After Heroin Intake?
Hello, this may be a silly question but I’m actually very concerned. I have a family member who is addicted to Heroin. He will soon be getting the help he needs. My issue is, I recently accidentally drank out of his water bottle and am now worried the drug (heroin) is in my system ... is this possible from his germs (saliva) on the water bottle ?I’m terrified of any drug being in my system, I’m a bit of a hypochondriac. Thank you! - Angelina

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Nearly the entire drug is digested prior to getting in. It stays in the system for only a few hours. By the time you've written this, most likely it is past the time enough would be in your system to have an effect even if you main lined it.
I hope I have answered your query. Let me know if you have any further questions.
Regards,
Dr. Matt Wachsman
