Passerby filmed a shocking view of a drug-addicted homeless man. He has open wounds on both arms from drug injections.
Repeated injections in the same spot, poor injection technique, low-quality drugs, and unsanitary conditions can all cause severe infections, which are very difficult to heal in drug-addicted individuals. This is due both to poor hygiene habits among drug users and a weakened immune system caused by drug use. It is therefore not uncommon to see drug-addicted people with precisely these kinds of open wounds.
It is important to understand that this is a life-threatening situation. An open wound is just one step away from gangrene. If you see someone in this condition, the best thing you can do is call for help. Due to the risk of infection or aggression, it is not recommended to approach or touch them.
