Immune function and IV drug use
I️ have been using IV drugs for 2 years and have avoided any major health problems so far. Recently, I️ have been getting bad cellulitis at injection sites and what I️ think is follicularitis on my back and legs. Is it likely that I became exposed to a bacteria that my body is not used to fighting off? Or is it more likely that my immune system is getting tired due to the constant threat of infection because of IV drug use. Can immune system get tired?
