Best Answer

Cotton balls are for many things, such as applying antiseptic, removing makeup, cleaning small areas of skin, stopping bleeding, etc. When getting an injection (such as with heroin), cotton balls are used for cleaning the area to be injected with an antiseptic and for stopping the tiny amount of bleeding once removing the needle.

Illegal heroin users also mix heroin with water, heat it, and strain it through a ball of cotton when filling the hypo. This is to help remove undissolved solids.

Can you test for heroin from bloody cotton ball?

heroin is cooked into a liquid form in a spoon and then sucked up through a needle, often using q tips or cotton balls as a 'filter' for the heroin, the blood on the cotton ball could have been some of the blood that got into the needle when the person injected themselves, meaning they most likely sucked up heroin through the cotton ball so i'd guess you could test it for heroin.
