Placing two drops of 4% cocaine on the skin, breathing deeply when spraying a patient with 4% cocaine aerosol, or squeezing cocainesoaked cotton pledgets between the fingers did not cause any of 11 volunteers to test positive (Zieske, 1992). In a 1994 study, three different scenarios were tested; the urine of physicians was tested after they had soaked cottonoid pledgets in a 4% cocaine solution and then inserted them into patients’ nares. The physicians wore masks for all the trials, but wore gloves for only six.
There were focal degenerative changes in the spinal ganglia, heart, and liver. In some cases, the myocytes had “lost their striae and [were] intensely granular” (Zanchevski, 1888). Although illustrations are lacking, Zanchevski’s descriptions suggest that he was the first to observe a form of contraction band necrosis (CBN) occurring as a result of cocaine toxicity. French researchers were the first to systematically study cocaine’s psychological effects, largely because cocaine and morphine addiction were such a major problem in Paris.
