Booty bumps (chems up the arse)
A booty bump is when chems are dissolved in water and squirted up the arse using a syringe barrel (without a needle).
The chems are absorbed through the lining of the anal canal and rectum.
Risks
- Booty bumps can make it harder to measure doses accurately, increasing risk of overdose.
- Irritation, bleeding/ inflammation.
- Greater risk of HIV/ HCV and STI transmission if syringes are shared.
- Lasting damage to the arsehole and rectum.
Reducing risks
- Wash and dry your hands
- Use a new or sterile syringe for each person*
- Dissolve chems in sterile or freshly boiled water**
- Lubricate syringe and arsehole and insert gently
- Dose carefully: start low go slow—wait to feel effects
*Mark or label the barrel to identify. **Allow the water to cool first.
