While most foreign substances in the body trigger an immune-system defense, many illegal drugs, like cocaine, fail to do so because their molecules are too small; they slip into the brain unnoticed and unchallenged.

The next time the user takes cocaine by itself, the body mounts an automatic defense: Antibodies...

Larger surveys completed since show the practice is prevalent among local Arabs and Turkmen, as well as Kurds. The surveys provide the first solid statistics on a tradition which - while practiced relatively openly in parts of Africa - is so veiled in secrecy here that brothers are often unaware their own sisters are affected...
