Hydrofluoric Acid

[Bar Rat]

There was a story here a while back about HF gas. Well, I came across this gem of someone who took it to the next level...

Fulminant acute colitis following a self-administered hydrofluoric acid enema.

A 33-yr-old white male presented with bloody diarrhea, leukocytosis, and left lower quadrant direct and rebound tenderness after a self-administered concentrated hydrofluoric acid enema while intoxicated from intranasal cocaine administration. Intraoperative flexible sigmoidoscopy and a gastrografin enema revealed severe mucosal ulceration and edema in the rectum and sigmoid colon. Laparotomy revealed an ulcerated, necrotic, and purulent sigmoid colon and intraperitoneal pus. The patient underwent a limited sigmoid resection and a Hartman procedure. Five months later, the patient presented with a rectal stricture which was resected. This case demonstrates that a hydrofluoric acid enema can cause fulminant acute colitis and chronic colonic strictures.

How coked up does someone have to be to hook up an enema bag filled with this stuff?

That stuff is used to etch glass.

WE've all done crazy stuff after cocktails and whatnot, but how in the world could you get stoned enough to squirt acid UP YOUR ASS!! Geez.

[Jet Black]

I bet that's the last time that guy goes to a party at the Kennedy compound without a wingman.

Ya' think?!

[genlock]

I think we need a clinical test.
Who's up for a hot enema?
