Can snorting cocaine cause an eye infection?

Yes it can! An eye infection can occur due to repetitive snorting of cocaine over a period of days and weeks. Cocaine can irritate the eye cavity causing an infection to the eye. Most regular cocaine users will normally have blocked or infected sinus which will only help to the risk of infection to the nose, ears, eyes, and throat. See your doctor for some antibiotics to clear the infection and discuss your cocaine issue with regards to further infection.


How does cocaine work in the brain?

Cocaine enters the body by the person snorting, injecting, or in its synthesized form (crack-cocaine) smoking. the drug enters through the blood vessels in either the sinus tissue, lungs, or directly to the blood. It then is carried through the blood stream and around the body, makes a trip through the brain, and down to your liver, where it is processed and excreted through your urine. Cocaine takes no longer than a 0.7th of a second between entering the body and feeling the euphoric effects.
