Celebrities Killed By Drugs

Anissa Jones co-star of "Family Affair"

The word "overdose" implies that there is a safe dosage; therefore, the term is commonly only applied to drugs, not poison. Drug overdoses are sometimes caused intentionally to commit suicide or as self-harm, but many drug overdoses are accidental and are usually the result of either irresponsible behavior or the misreading of product labels.

Drug overdose often happens as a result of the use of multiple drugs with counter indications simultaneously (for instance, heroin/certain prescription pain medications and cocaine/amphetamines/alcohol.) Usage of illicit drugs that are of unexpected purity, in large quantities, or after a period of abstinence can also induce overdose. Cocaine users that inject intravenous can overdose accidentally as the margin between an optimal flash and an overdose is small.

A common unintentional overdose in young children involves multi-vitamins containing iron. Iron is a component of the hemoglobin molecule in blood, used to transport oxygen to living cells. When taken in small amounts, iron allows the body to replenish hemoglobin, but in large amounts it causes severe pH imbalances in the body. If this overdose is not treated with chelation therapy, it can lead to death or permanent coma.

Increase In Cocaine and Opiate-Related Fatal Overdose

"Drug Overdose"(OD)

The term drug overdose (or simply overdose or OD) describes the ingestion or application of a drug or other substance in quantities greater than are recommended or generally practiced. An overdose is widely considered harmful and dangerous as it can result in death.

With the increase in fatal drug overdose, these are a few article's that we uncovered that will help you learn about the risk's from taking drug's.

It's also important to note that while crime and drug's have increased in the U.S., there are more and more effort's in place to combat these issue's. But more anti-drug program's are needed.


Drug Reactions:

IF SOMEONE GETS TENSE AND PANICKY:
This can occur with LSD, magic mushrooms, speed, and ecstasy.

Calm them and be reassuring;
Explain that the feelings will pass;
Steer them clear of crowds, noisy music and bright lights;
If they're hyperventilating (over-breathing) encourage them to relax, and take long, slow, deep breaths.


IF SOMEONE GETS DROWSY:
This is a risk with tranquillisers, heroin, alcohol and solvents.

Dial 999 and call an ambulance immediately;
Keep them awake, but do not shake them hard or startle them, especially if they have been using glue or other solvents;
Place them in the recovery position (see later in this article) and talk to them;
Never give coffee to rouse them. This can make the drug in them work even faster.

Note: NEVER drink and take any drug, and NEVER mix prescription drug's.
