THANKS Dutch48.
This actually can happen to ANYONE who got a tattoo back in the day, when they didn't KNOW as much.
Even now that they do, Clinics have re-used needles for bloodwork & the patients did not KNOW--until contracting something & a small epidemic had begun, due to "cutting costs."
OF COURSE using I.V. drugs is very sad, but PLEASE DON'T BLAME Natalie for what is a societal problem linked to medical practices, public leisure & art appreciation, and also the increased national deficit.
I will just bet that more than you know--and many who have never had drug use or a habit--have acquired this as well.
She was brave enough to speak out.
THANKS Natalie; for increasing awareness & initiating more discussion!
