When
you look at the diseases which are common to drug abusers, there are
some names which almost always spring to your mind. AIDS, Herpes,
HIV, and the Staph Infection are all examples of diseases which are
readily associated with drug abuse.
Why
is this the case?
The
answer lies in how drug addicts transfer these diseases to one
another. In another article, we discussed diseases and promiscuity,
and the subject arose that many drug addicts are so desirous of their
“fix” that they will do anything in order to get their drugs,
even sell themselves on the street. This means that people who are
not careful about their sexual activities are most likely to get
diseases which are deadly or permanent. This lack of social awareness
and lack of proper checking up on their partner leads to serious
consequences.
AIDS
and HIV are related and they often kill the person, either quickly
and young, or slowly over time and painfully. This means that being
loose with your body can really cost you in the end.
The
same thing applies with your mind and emotions.
When
drug addicts contract diseases which are predictable among drug
abusing communities, the added stress of the sickness can lead to
further drug abuse. HIV can easily be contracted by sharing needles
when injecting drugs into their system. There are so many ways in
which the filth and grime of the streets can get inside the world of
a true drug addict and permeate their air and their clothing with
sickness and disease.
While
you may not be able to check all of your employees for contagious
diseases before hiring them, you can at least help to control the
problem by implementing very legal company policies to enforce
employee drug testing while on the worksite. This is really helpful
in the situations where you are not sure about a particular employee,
but you are worried about singling someone out or discriminating
against someone just based upon your suspicions.
Don’t
be in the dark.
