4. Heavy Drug Use
Heavy drug use can have disastrous effects on the body and health no matter what type of drug we might be talking about. Using drugs once or twice isn’t likely to destroy your health overnight, but long-term use might – and the longer you use drugs, the harder the eventual effects on the body will be.
If you are a heavy drug user, then it’s only natural that your lymphocyte level will show up low, and your immune system will be affected by this. Heavy drug use means that your body can’t keep up (and can’t repair itself at the usual rate) – and this could be a killer if drug use isn’t stopped or the addiction isn’t properly treated in time.
If you are a drug user who wants to stop, one of the first things you should do is an appointment with your doctor or a trip to the emergency room: Stopping long-term drug use alone can be more dangerous and should need the intervention of a medical specialist.
