* Distilled water should be avoided in large amounts directly into a vein, as it can cause your blood cells to become hypotonic, possibly leading to death. | * Distilled water should be avoided in large amounts directly into a vein, as it can cause your blood cells to become hypotonic, possibly leading to death. | ||
* Boiled tap water: It is also important to change the water at a regular interval to prevent bacteria growth within the water. Be mindful that using multiple hypodermic needles in the same water supply can easily spread illness and disease. No other liquid substance should be added to the injection, even if it is supposed to increase the solubility of the drug in the water solution. Heat can be used to aid dissolution, but fruit juice or vinegar can lead to infections. Hot tap water should always be avoided because it contains heavy metals. | * Boiled tap water: It is also important to change the water at a regular interval to prevent bacteria growth within the water.
