Injection site infection-hospitalised

[setters]

it all works. just get 70%alc swabs, doesnt matter if cotton, individually packaged disposables, or soaked paper wipes

I already use the individually packed ones. I'm not the OP. Was just thinking a pack of cotton you keep touching is less sterile, but I supposed that's irrelevant since the alcohol kills any issues anyway.

This is fine to do? I would prefer this to the individually packaged disposable wipes but it seems less sterile.

The prepackaged ones aren't wet enough for me

I like my alcohol swabs the same way I like my women...... dripping in chemicals that kill any and all bacteria .

This post had me so paranoid and tripped my OCD that badly I literally threw out two drawn syringes before finally being happy with the 3rd one.

I think I swabbed the area 7 times. Fuck.

Most likely your cruddy practice of not using alcohol to sterilize or maybe your gear got contaminated from not swabbing the top with alcohol. Probably a combo who knows. If your worried about the gear send off a sealed vial to Jano for sterility I did with some and both came back positive for fungus/mold.

Guess how I know you're another looksmaxxing teenager

Definitely not a Looksmaxxer. Look he says he's been pinning roids for a year. That's typical millenial/Gen X roidcel behaviour. We run short cycles, we are not trying to become ugly, bloated and bald

If you have already injected from that vial and nothing happened then its not the gear. The infection came from outside the body and vial. You wont be able to pinpoint it. I have been injecting without using alcohol to wipe the vials or my skin for 15+ years...not a single infection. Thats not saying it cant happen. Infections in hospitals that sterilize everything still happen and happen alot. All you can do moving forward is do your best to keep things sterile.

Funny, I've also been injecting 15+ years, can't think of the last time I used an alcohol wipe.
