Ok so being a chemistry ignorant as I am, I went to Wikipedia to read about this acid, thinking it was probably a very common household item sold under a different name or perhaps a very common drug with a different street name, you get it. But it's not. It's just some acid used in a variety of industry processes.

Why on earth would anyone, even on drugs, think an enema with acid is something they need to experience? I've never done cocaine and I'm also not into painful anal stuff so if you are into either and care to explain I'd really appreciate it.

I'm into both and I still can't explain what he was thinking.

Thank you

Well, some people should not do drugs. It can cause all kinds of conditions that you may have genetic predispositions for.

One notable case: drug-induced psychosis which causes (among others) delusions and severe confusion. Sounds like one might pour a deadly acid in their ass when delusional and severely confused.

The answer as to why is in the abstract: dude was flying on coke.

"intoxicated from intranasal cocaine administration" is such a hilariously sterile way to say it.

Sounds like you could use an enema.

if it was left untreated, the necrotic colon wouldve caused sepsis due to secondary bacterial infection.

It's not a party unless your doctor gets a whole paper out of it

[–] CookieOfFortune@lemmy.world 24 points 2 months ago (1 children)

This paper is apparently referenced in the Wikipedia page for HF: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrofluoric_acid#cite_ref-28

[–] trxxruraxvr@lemmy.world 19 points 2 months ago

Cases of intestinal damage from contact with hydrofluoric acid requiring surgical intervention are rare but known in medical literature

intranasal cocaine administration

It always makes me smile seeing technical language used to describe ridiculous stuff. It's almost comforting. Like, even if you snort a bunch of cocaine and then pour hydrofluoric acid in your ass, the medical system isn't going to have any trouble describing or documenting it. They've seen worse.

pooh-wtf

[–] gndagreborn@lemmy.world 17 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Even with the cocaine, the pain must have been INTENSE. can't imagine there wasn't at least some regret deep down.

[–] ryannathans@aussie.zone 10 points 2 months ago (2 children)

It's not a strong acid, it's just extremely toxic. No idea how much it would have hurt at the time, my guess would be not much, but would have been fucked to experience the aftermath of such an act of idiocy

[–] CookieOfFortune@lemmy.world 27 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

The pain isn’t from the acidity. It’s from the fluorine attacking your nerves AND bones.

It's just one of the two strongest acids. It is able to dissolve glass. But yes, it is toxic and supposedly it kills by removing calcium from the system.

[–] ryannathans@aussie.zone 8 points 2 months ago (1 children)

That's not the definition of a strong acid, a strong acid is an acid that protonates easily

It's a weak acid

[–] altphoto@lemmy.today 9 points 2 months ago

Okay, despite being a weak acid by the formal definition, hydrofluoric acid is extremely corrosive and dangerous because undissociated HF penetrates tissues and the fluoride ion strongly complexes with calcium and magnesium in the body. This is why HF can cause severe burns and systemic toxicity even though it is not a strong acid in the acid base sense.

I heard about boofing from.the Darwin Awards before, but that was for vodka and the guy did it died because of alcohol poisoning to earn it. This one seems to raised the bar and lived to tell the tale of acid boofing. Which makes me wonder how many interesting people we share this beautiful world...

Damn I need to improve my english vocab. I understood nothing from this.

[–] themagzuz@lemmy.blahaj.zone 28 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (5 children)

tbf this uses a lot of medical jargon that most people who aren't doctors will never need. put simply, it's a case of a man who put hydrofluoric acid in his ass (owie) while high from snorting cocaine

edit: wrong acid, it's actually way worse than i thought

[–] dragonfucker@lemmy.nz 20 points 2 months ago

No, hydrofluoric.

[–] Dicska@lemmy.world 13 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (3 children)

I know it's not that relevant, but isn't hydrofluoric acid a different and much more reactive acid than hydrochloric acid?

[–] TTimo@lemmy.today 8 points 2 months ago

It's reactive enough to bond with uranium and make a gas for enrichment. Crazy stuff.
