(Here the subject is clearly delirious at the hideousness of her mutation.)

It is ironic that it is at this onset of disfiguration, that Baltic junkies usually turn to a life of prostitution, both as a means of self gratification and also to support the expense of their habit, which at US$0.30/bottle can easily add up to tens of dollars per week.
